Ruby is a Labrador Retriever Mix!
The typical mixed-breed dog weighs around 40-60 pounds at full growth. A lot depends on the size and structure of the ancestors of your particular dog. Mixes of small dogs should result in smaller dogs, and mixes of larger dogs should result in larger offspring. It should be remembered that all "full-bred" dogs were once mixes of other breeds.
The older Labrador is well-known for their calm, amiable temperament. They are eager to please and do very well in obedience trials, agility and hunt. They are happy to play with the children in the morning and go hunting with the "master" later in the day. They love to swim and will thoroughly enjoy a backyard pool - preferably their own. They will need to be fenced out of human swimming pools, unless arrangements are made for them to get out on their own.
These short-coated retrievers can have brown, black or "yellow" coats. They weigh between 55-80 pounds and stand 22-25 inches tall. Today they are involved in agility, obedience, confirmation, drug detection, hunting and guide dogs.
We are pleased to welcome Ruby to our practice!
