Bullet Labrador Retriever Young Male for sale in Barbours, Pennsylvania

Bullet's story
Blue, kids 12+ dog, tolerant multiple meet and greets.
In the kennel Bullet is a calm guy, laying about and just taking it all in. But once he is out, it is clear that his age is not affecting him as much as you might think. He is a very active guy, and ready to go. He tolerated the handling for the most part but was not much of a fan of the hugging, or some of the more invasive handling.
His stability test went well, and so did his correction. He handles them both well, but for the correction test he does seem to be easily distracted and goes back to doing it. But this is a new environment, and there are always adjustment periods.
During the evaluation Bullet had little interest in the food we offered him. However, with any dog you should ere on the side of caution, and not allow children near a dog when it is eating, or chewing on something, always feed pets separate, and if the dog has something it should not. Trade for it, never just grab it. Just grabbing it away can start to make guarding behavior develop, because they will think you want to take everything away from them.
Bullet does seem a bit possessive over his toys, but he loves to play, and stuffed toys seem to be his favorite thing.
Bullet loves to meet new people for the most part. But he can be a little rude when he meets them. He does like to jump up to greet people. So, he will need some work on his social graces.
For his dog test he really had little interest in making friends, he was more interested in exploring the yard. He did greet Russell, but then he went back to doing his own thing. I would advise that if he goes into a home with another dog that he meets them more than once to make sure it will be an ok fit.
Bullet needs a family or person who will continue to work on his social skills and help him get that energy out. For an older fellow he is still ready to show you what he's got. It might not hurt to put him in a basic obedience class, that would help with manners, and help him develop a bond with his new family
