Ags:

We are getting ready to move and are looking for a good home for this guy. He is a neutered, house broken, and can be trusted outside without a leash. Approximately 4 year old Lab/Great Pyrenees mix. and has all of his shots. Very sweet disposition and makes a great house dog.



Am happy to facilitate a play date if interested.

Does he have any pit bull in him? I have kids.

How is he around other dogs?
Do you kennel him or just let him roam freely around the house while you're out?

How many ducks has he retrieved? How is he at tracking deer blood?

He has been around kids and another dog for as long as we have had him (approx 3 years). We have another older lab and they get along fine. Older lab is incredibly submissive and he has emulated that behavior. If anything, he is skittish.

We have a 2 year old who has poked him in the eye and stolen his food before with not so much as a growl. He just kindof walked away and sulked. We also have an infant. He doesn't ever concern himself with her unless she is crying, then he just goes and sits by her. He doesn't appear to have a fixation with food or toys, which is odd, but loves to cuddle. He will slowly try to sneak into sitting in your lap if you let him. Only complaints are that he sheds and will bark whenever anyone (including us) comes to the door. More of an alert than aggression though. Anytime visitors come over he barks when someone comes to the house and starts playing with them when they come inside. Probably the GP in him as they are very good protector dogs.

We won't give him to the pound or anything like that. If we can't find a good home for him, we will make do.

Why are you getting rid of him?
Ozmandius

He roams free when we are away. We usually just close the bedroom doors so the dogs dont get on our bed while we are out.

We might not. Looking for a home because of space issues. Got him before we had any kids. Two 70 lbs labs plus two kids is a quite a commitment when you have two working parents with serious jobs.

Cute dog. Would he fight other animals if cornered? Does he have the dexterity to use a hammer or a small blade?

I say you give away one of your kids before you give away that precious dog.

Getting dogs before realizing they're a responsibility

Getting dogs before realizing they're a responsibility
This. I volunteered at the Houston SPCA for awhile, and the dogs who had it the worst were not the strays that were picked up off the streets. It was the dogs who had a loving home and were then dumped due to 'had a baby', or 'space issues', or 'can't afford him', or 'he poops alot', etc.

The strays were happy as could be. The ones that used to have homes would shiver & shake and lie curled up in the corner of their cage with bewildered looks on their faces, like "when are my people coming to get me".

Like people, they form a bond with their 'family'. To think you can just give them to somebody else and they'll never miss a beat is wrong.

Keep the dog and make it work.

Surprised it took this thread that long to go down that derail.

Your stress and sanity are more important than a dog. Especially with two toddlers. Hope you find a good home for him.

Is this the Oak Forest facebook page? The faux internet guilt is hilarious.

SPCA has nothing to do with this. Go re-read my posts if you don't understand why.

Still looking for a good home for a good dog.

Good looking pup!

70 pounds is too big for my tiny yard though.

Good luck

I honestly never knew people gave dogs away before I got on TxAgs. Dad would always "haul off" dogs that we didn't want any more when I was a kid. Most of them got run over on the highway before we could get too attached to them anyways,

I gave my last two a 22LR pill to put them to sleep
