Approximate DOB 08/05/2020 Size - 50 lbs give or take History- An awesome woman and her family took in a couple dogs and before they could get them fixed they had puppies. Luckily they reached out to us for help. We accepted her into our mother/pup program so now that the puppies are old enough to leave mom we will have mom spayed and she can remain with her owner and we will place the babies. Mom is a Red Heeler/American Pit Bull Terrier mix and dad is a Labrador Retriever. We have named all 8 babies after the cast from Lucifer as that is what we are currently watching - Lucifer (Shadow), Mazikeen, Ella, Kane, Amenadiel, Linda, Chloe, and Dan. Update 7/4/2021- Shadow was recently returned as he and the other dog in the home started fighting. They both decided they would be alpha and neither was backing down. Temperament- Very, very playful - loves kisses. Loves learning and is eager to follow instruction. He might be amazing for someone wanting an agility dog, a running partner, a hiking partner, etc.. Energy Level- Very, very high energy big puppy Dogs/Cats- They have met both cats and dogs and seem playful and happy with both. He can be dog selective so we are recommending a home with a female dog if there is a dog already in the home. Housetrained- Perfectly house and crate trained. Shadow is an absolutely amazing young dog. When he is first let out he runs and jumps around until he gets all that energy out. When he meets new people or first let out he is super excited and jumps around as he is so excited. If he is ignored he will start jumping more on you so needs a family that can take control, interact with him, correct bad behavior, and wear him out. A tired dog is a good dog. He is well behaved once he calms down and relaxes. We had some volunteers out this week and initially he was a little nutty and jumping but they took him for a walk and he was great after. He is super loving, and extremely smart. He loves water, has perfect recall, loves cuddling on the couch, good with other animals, and knows some basic commands. He is just a really nice boy who bonds strongly to his person. Whatever you want to do with him he would probably excel as long as it keeps him busy. We are not recommending him for anyone with small kids as he does tend to be a tad rough and excitable. But if you have older dog savvy kids that want a dog to do training with this guy would be perfect as he is extremely smart, playful, gets along with some other dogs and cats, and is well behaved. We do highly highly recommend training in social situations and lots of exercise for this boy to keep him out of trouble and level headed. The more he is with you the more relaxed he will become. For instance when it is just us he is perfect- walks great, lays on the couch to cuddle, lays at my feet, etc. When people come over he is an excited puppy who can't get himself under control so we have started working on keeping 4 feet on the ground but he still needs some work. He will make a perfect, loving addition to any loving well balanced active adult family.
