Basically this. My daughter and her husband are looking for a first dog - not interested in buying a hunting specific dog - simply looking for a "good dog." Both the kids grew up in families with hunting dogs their whole lives so they are not new to dogs, just dog ownership. They've been watching the shelters, which is fine if you want a pit mix...which they don't. Ideally something like a lab, golden or lovable mutt would be perfect. They are interested in a dog 3 yrs old or younger. They are on a 5 ac property, so plenty of room to run, but they both work so they are hesitant to get a deep chested runner that needs daily big exercise, i.e. GSP, GWP, Setters, etc. They are also wanting to stay away from shepherds , huskies, or herding breeds. Yeah, I know, they're putting themselves in a bit of a box, but hey, you gots to start somewhere. If you know of anybody that has dog that you think would fit the bill and needs a new home please shoot me a PM.
Thank you,
Mike R
