Hey,
A few weeks ago i found what i think is a Lab/pointer mix. He was skin and bones when i took him in. Around here alot of people dump dogs, but we still posted signs all around the town. Nuthing. I think he is about 3 years old. I am 15 and i have 2 Rottweilers whom i show in AKC Conformation shows. So ofcoarse i would LOVE to keep him. But he has too much enegy. When i get home i have been having him pull 60 pounds to a feild and letting him run. He runs 15 min staight and still has energy to run. The only time i have seen him fall over tired was when i had him take the 60 pounds to the cow field and we walked in the field for at least 3 hours then had him pull the 60 ounds back home. He is such a sweet dog and has a ton of retrieving ability.
My question is...
Is there a club i could see if they can train him?
What is the BEST thing i could do for this dog. I really want him to be able to do what he loves... run and retrieve.
Let me know your thoughts or if you or know of anyone who has tons of land and would like a GREAT dog. I'm in TN E-mail me for more information on him and some pictures.
