About Georgia-PENDING!

Lab / Beagle
Age: Puppy
Sex: Female

The very first thing that Georgia the Labrador Retriever/Beagle mix wants to make clear is that she's a love. In these photos, you're not aware of the golden shades that run through her gorgeous coat. It is with baths/brushing, care and great nutrition that Georgia's 's coat will show its gorgeous color and cottony-soft hair that speaks of her breed mix. Her foster home (with so much love and caring) is new to Georgia...her nose sniffs shyly at an outstretched hand...and then an ear to ear smile if it's a loving touch. And then before you know it, she is next to you on the couch. She's so happy there because her human relationships are so important to her. We have to remember that Georgia came from a very tough and challenging shelter. This 18 - 24 month old, 35 lb (such a perfect medium size) Lab/Beagle mix truly lights up whens she feels likes she's done a good job... some serious hugging and kind words will send her over the moon. In this spirit of great behavior, Georgia has mastered her house skills. She's completely house trained, crate trained and always respectful of her home. The Lab/Beagle mix is a new and very popular breed mix called a Beagador. They're recognized for their great temperaments (excellent family dogs!), loyalty and the love that they bring to a home. They're also perfect for a family that loves Labs, but desires the smaller size of a Beagador. Georgia 's foster mom has the following to say about this sweet pup: Georgia is doing great. She's still a young pup and just needs patience and love...and she blossoms. I sit with her and we talk about what a wonderful girl she is and what a great future she has to look forward to...I'm not kidding that I think she understands! Georgia is so kind and cuddly... belly rubs and treats also are a gift to this sweet dog who has never had this kind of nurturing. It's important to note that Georgia was removed from the shelter environment (due to her great temperament with all humans..she loves kids!)) and put in a foster home. She was given the recognition to be trusted to be with kids...playing games and providing therapeutic hugs. She would be excellent in a home with a bit older, active children who desire a full-time best friend. Georgia is still learning about interacting with other dogs. Because she's so great with all humans and completely enjoys children, her foster mom (who doesn't have another dog) didn't initially realize that Georgia is a bit challenged by some other dogs. She gets so excited to see them that she needs guidance on moving along. A 6-week training class with a positive reinforcement trainer (that's so important for all dogs) will teach Georgia the skills to watch the cues of her person rather than playing with other dogs. Farfel's provides a list of force-free trainers in your area. Georgia's foster wanted to share the following with us: I've had the most amazing time hiking in the New Mexico mountains with Georgia. You can see the joy on her beautiful face as we climb hills and cross streams. We're waiting for a good snowfall so Georgia and my kids can snowshoe and have a serious snowball fight. She's such a sweet soul that is overjoyed with the turn her life has taken. Georgia lives to play and love her family (and their friends)...in my case I have 2 kids 12 and 14 (and their friends that love to come over to play in the yard with Georgia). My kids would love to keep Georgia (but we've voted to keep fostering)...she's a wonderful best friend that plays hard with them and then at day's end lies on their feet while they do their homework. Other than her drive to play with other dogs, I actually think Georgia is level-headed for a young dog that hasn't had the benefit of training classes. She loves to play, run and is learning about the beginning of different types of ball play...but then loves to cuddle equally. I never have to worry about damage to my home..Georgia is always respectful and would never consider having an accident or chewing on things that don't belong to her. Her temperament is really developing! I just have to walk into the room and glance at her...it's head to toe waggy tail and huge smile (now that she knows me better). She is such a sweet puppy who will be just about perfect after a training class. Anyone who welcomes Georgia into their home is truly getting a gem of a dog! Georgia is currently in a foster home in the Denver area.
