Meet Chiquita

Chiquita is a sweet, sweet pup at age 6 months. She seems to have a quiet and easy-going nature. She currently weighs 23 pounds and is expected to be in the medium-large size range when fully grown. She has those warm and curious lab eyes. Her coat is a beautiful typical lab, black. Puerto Rico is where she was born. She gets along well with the other dogs, and she is comfortable with the kids. It is not known if she has ever met a cat. Lab mixes are known for their friendliness towards people. They have more than enough affection to go around for the whole family, too. They are intelligent and good-natured. They have plenty of energy as pups and usually like to stay active throughout their lives. They make great family companions. Chiquita will need an owner who has had experience and/or knowledge working with puppies. Using the right guidance will help her with the skills she needs to master. Cheerful praise and lots of treats will go a long way in helping her do so. She is learning her house, crate, and leash training. She, like most pups will be a quick learner once routines are established. Daily short walks (under thirty minutes) will be a good opportunity to work on leash skills as well as socialization skills. It will be a new world to her with all the new sights, smells, sounds, and people along her walks. Please note: She may not be a running companion until at least age one when her growth plate closes. Chiquita, like all pups, will also appreciate free time in a back yard. Keeping her mind busy with activities that provide physical and mental stimulation will prevent boredom and burn up puppy energy. Interested?
