Emma's stay with me turned out to be rather short lived, she is back up at the training kennel and may possibly be taken into the atf "bomb sniffing" dog program.
So, meet new dog, aka Nugget. Black lab, sevenish months old, will hopefully be with me in training for a while. He's growing on me already. And also just growing- 62 lbs already.
We'll see how tomorrow on campus goes. Should be... interesting, to say the least. New dogs in class are always fun to explain.
Also, first picture is post bath. His fur is normal, I promise.
Aint he pretty? I'm kind of obsessed with his face haha. Bubba was half golden and so he got the longer golden face, emma had decent structure but weird coloring that made her look like she had eyebrows, but he has a nice blocky head.
Just a bonus as the guide dog program obviously doesn't breed for (serious) conformation. Their black labs tend to be purdy though.
Also, I WANT TO SMUSH HIS FACE SO BADLY!!! Cutest of the three by far (though I'm biased towards big black dogs)
He's going to have so much fun with you
And near 70lb and not even a year... Hes going to be HUGE.
Thanks yall. He's growing on me. Still missing bubba a lot but having another longer term dog is helping, especially since em was such a short placement.
and i think that black dogs are just freaking hard to photograph, so people tend to think they're not as cute. I live in yoga pants, and I'm just loving not *looking like I'm* covered in dog hair all the time.

Almost a month in, he'll be nine months in like a week and is about 66 lbs now, 20ish at the withers? Hoping his neuter wont make him shoot up too much. His face is getting less puppyish as well, he's growing into the giant flews!
and some funny stoned doggy shots the night of his neuter:
My friend's sister just got a tiny guide puppy to raise (not from your group, I asked) and it is a black lab, golden mix. I swear he looks JUST like Nugget, just a little more puppy-fuzzy.
I have no idea how I missed this thread! That is one gorgeous Lab pup!
