Sam – 2 year old Labrador Retriever cross Collie

Another lovely young boy, Sam is 2 years old. He was described to us as a Retriever cross Collie ( I think the Retriever is Labrador Retriever). Sam had been taken to the vets as a last resort to be destroyed by his very elderly owners who simply couldn’t cope with a young bouncy dog and had been unable to secure him a rescue space, when fate stepped in and now the handsome lad is with us.

Sam is house-trained, very affectionate and sociable. He is pretty obedient too, but would definitely benefit from some classes to add the polish and build a bond with his new owners.

Sam mixes well with other dogs, loves to play, but can be a bit of a pest insisting the game isn’t over and hassling them to play some more. This is getting better as regular exercise that is appriopriate to his needs kicks in. Sam travels well in the car and would be happy to live with another dog/s.

He is perhaps a little bouncy for toddlers unused to dogs, but would be a super family dog, would love to learn to play football, go camping & roll in the mud with the kids! He is not for those who work full time however. I also feel that with a little work, Sam could happily live with cats.

Thinking about adopting a dog?- How about if we gave you some free dog food to make life easier?

Highly recommended if you’re thinking of adopting a dog:- Compare dog insurance policies and make sure your idea of the cheapest dog insurance isn’t mistaken for the best dog insurance!
