Meet the neatest Chocolate Lab you will ever come to know. K. is a fully certified service dog. He is trained to work for people with disabilities, pulling a manual chair, opening doors, retrieving dropped objects etc.....He has full medical clearance, including but not limited to: Hip exrays, thyroid testing, and more. He is neutered, current on all vaccines. He has had over 250 hours of basic/advanced obedience, and over 250 hours of public access work.He has incredible work ethic and will would do well in any environment where he will be allowed to reach his fullest potentional.


I will be shooting video in the coming week and posting to You Tube his commands, and his work in public.



Now, that I have told you about him, I ask that you tell me about you? If you want a response to an email, I need more information than "I am interested in your dog". I need to know some of the following:



Are you disabled? What is your disability? Is your family and Doctors supportive of your having an Service dog? Do you realize that owning a service dog is a huge commitment? Are you willing to work and put time, commitment, and yes, finances, into building a relationship with this dog?


Do you understand that owning a dog of this calibar is a financial responsibility? That he is on premium food(grain free kibble, costing over 50.00 per month)? Are you willing to sign a contract that guarantees the safety and wellbeing of this dog?


Please ANSWER ALL THESE QUESTIONS IN YOUR EMAIL, ALONG WITH YOUR REAL NAME, OR I WILL NOT RESPOND TO IT. The reason for this is simple, my time is invaluable to me, and if you are not serious, or are just looking for a well trained pet, then please don't bother me! I greatly appreciate your respect in this.



This dog could easily pass several American Kennel Club obedience venues tests, and will be subjected to those tests this fall, if he is still with me at that time.

I won't bug you ... but I would adore a service dog! She sounds sweet. Someday, someday.
