AVAILABLE to a performance/ sport home.
This one is a hard post to make as I really planned on keeping Quill as apart of our program, but in his best interest, I feel it's best to find him a great home.
Quill is a 1 year old, 66 pound, AKC registered male labrador. He is part show, part field lines and is the absolute best boy you could ask for. Quill loves car rides, going on adventures, training for junior level hunt test, his stuffies, playing endless games of fetch, snuggles, and generally being with you. He has an amazing off switch in the house, and is a perfect gentleman, but when it's time to "work" he is all in. He has not been around kids, and would likely do best in a calmer household.
Quill has all basic obedience done ( sit, wait, down, here, heel, fetch/hold), and has a fantastic off leash recall. He gets along perfectly with other dogs and cats. Quill goes most places with me and does great, with one exception, and the reason he is being placed.
Quill does great in stores, at restaurants, hotels, in public spaces but he is scared of strangers who try to pet him. He isn't aggressive at all, but he will back away, sometimes give a little " woof" and generally not want to be touched. Quill does well when I take him to the vet, but it is obvious that he does not enjoy the handling by strangers. He does warm up fairly quickly when allowed to interact on his terms. Because ot this, he is not a breeding candidate or a candidate for our program.
Quill has had health testing done, he has normal elbows, fair hips, normal eyes, and is cleared by parentage from common labrador gentic illnesses. Quill will be placed on a neuter contract.
His ideal home will continue to allow him to be active, use his his brain, and ideally continue to pursue hunt test titles or other performance titles.
This boy really is an amazing dog, and will make someone the perfect life long best friend.
