My second puppy that I raised was a laid back easy going black lab golden mix. At the age of 5 months we took him into classes to have children read to him. He loved it he would lay his head on there lap and just listen. Then in February of 2006 he went to advanced training. He rotated through his first team training where he decided to be goofy and not listen real well. Then in November he rotated through his second team training where he made a match. He now is a Facility dog at a school in Kentucky.
