We found our Brandee on Pet Finder: she is approx a 2 yr old female lab, seems to have been abused, a puppy mill female, shot, and afraid. She has come a long way, no longer afraid of shotgun shots, housebroken very well, low maintance, minds very well, still learning to come when called. Feel that is because she was beat when she came on demand. So I feel I have saved a dog from a life from hell. She is a great companion, so consider a resuce that has seen hard times, give them a second chance at a new and wonderful, happy life. And I am over 60, she is not too much for older folks.
