Lena

Lena is looking for a family to spend the rest of her life with. She promises  to give lots of snuggles and kisses and work really hard on training to become  a well behaved girl. She asks that you be patient with her since she is still  very young and still has a lot to learn.

Female

Lab/Shar pei /St.Bernard mix

8 weeks old (Birthdate: 4/10/18 )

Estimated size full grown 60 pounds.

She is considered a large breed dog.

She is  black with very little brown gradation on her head. All her paws are beautiful ash black. She has a cute white ducking shape on her chest.

She can be a little timid at first with strangers but settles in nicely after a bit. She loves to ask you to hold her and stay by her side when she naps. She is great with other dogs.

A fence is highly recommended for her because of her breed. Since she is Sharpei/St. Bernard mix, Her energy level is not as high as stereotypical Labrador puppy. She still has lots of puppy energy though. As she grows, daily walks or trips to the dog park would really help her continue to be social and get her much needed exercise.  She rides well in the car and usually sleeps.

She is beginning to learn some basic commands such as come and sit. She is a typical puppy and would do best with additional training. She is not leash trained yet, simply because of her age, but will do well with training. She is working on crate training and sleeps through the night ~7-8 hours. She is also working hard on potty training but, as with all puppies, she will need additional potty training.

Lena is a typical puppy that will require ongoing training.
