Ryan
#GDR-A-59567
Breed
Retriever, Black Labrador / Mixed Breed (Medium)
Sex
Male
Age
3 Months old
Ryan is a sweet, sensitive boy with a determined spirit. He loves nothing more than snuggling in bed with his humans and fur friends, always wanting to be close to the people he loves most.
Ryan is happiest when he’s by your side. Whether you’re cooking or cleaning in the kitchen, he’ll quietly lay nearby and watch, following you everywhere like your little shadow. He loves to play and especially enjoys a good game of fetch, though he can get a little feisty during playtime.
Ryan is currently working on potty training now that he’s able to go outside, and he’s making progress every day. One thing he’s not a fan of is the kennel — he much prefers being cuddled up close with his people.
With his loyal heart, playful personality, and loving nature, Ryan is the perfect mix of companion and best friend.
Ryan’s mom is a Lab mix, and we believe his dad may be a Mastiff mix, so he will likely grow into a big, handsome boy with plenty of love to give!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
