My Lab passed away a couple of weeks ago and I am wanting to start my search. I need a pup due to existing dog and two cats so I want to be sure the new dog will integrate into the home.

Large breed preferred. Lab or other

No pits

Do not need papers. Will not breed

Sex no preference

Prefer both parents on site

Very few pups at shelters and frankly the rescue groups can be fanatics

Here's a 9 week old Bernese Mountain dog mix at the Austin Animal Center.

We adopted a shelter dog (DNA tested as a pyrenees / collie mix) a couple of years ago after we had to put our rescue greyhound down. Amazing how many people (especially women) want to talk to you / pet your dog when it's a big furry mutt.

Austin Animal Shelter does have pups but tries to keep them in foster homes. Use their online site to look at them. They do find homes fast.

I got my last puppy from Austin Pets Alive. He was 12 weeks old and was in a foster home too.

If you need help, just let me know.

Not a puppy but worth a look.

Update..I am out of the market for now. dang it.

I did look at the shelters and between Austin and Willco there were 2-3 pups including the one linked here. I asked the wife about the link pup and she said she prefer not black hair to shedding. OK then I found a litter of Labs that were blond and brown and she came up with not wanting to deal with a puppy during holidays. OK fair point.

Bottom line the wife, of 34 years, is not ready for a new dog. I am but I have learned to pick my battles. I will try again after the first of year.

Thanks to all for your help in the thread. I will be back...some day.
