Rider is the protective bear, a sweet brindle whose mother is a lab and father likely a plott hound. Rider is very sweet, calm, loves a warm sunspot. He always checks on his brothers…….if any one of them would make a noise he goes and sees if they are ok. He is nearly housetrained, and nearly leash trained but makes up for this with loads of kisses. No small kids, teens would be fun for him.We reply only to completed applications, no calls. Excellent vet reference and virtual home visit required. Your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We prefer a fenced yard but this is not required for all our dogs. We transport by land or air whenever possible.
