Labrador Retriever puppies and dogs in Ontario

I am delighted to introduce Caleb a 9 month old Lab/Hound mix. Caleb came to our rescue from a local pound with a leg injury that has since healed. Caleb is a very handsome pup with very soft beige markings that don’t show up in his photos. He is currently 24 kilograms or 53 pounds and about full grown. He is an energetic and playful boy who requires a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. We go on multiple walks each day with a total of at least 6 km daily. Several times a week we go to local conservation areas for a 5 km hike and on those days we may reach 9 or 10 km in total. I believe Caleb would be a good candidate for agility training in the future once his basic obedience classes are finished. Best advice I was given is that a well behaved puppy is a tired puppy. Caleb no longer follows me as my shadow and is happy to relax on his own in another room while I’m busy elsewhere. He spends much of his time in the living room where he has taken over the couch as his favourite go to place. Caleb quickly learned the sit command and automatically sits to have his lead put on for our walks and also when we return home. We have an after walk routine which he loves. Once his leash is off he goes to the couch and wiggles himself silly until I come to give him tummy rubs which he loves. He can get excited and try to mouth me so I always have a toy for him to chew on instead. The sit command calms him down. Caleb enjoys snuggling in beside me on the couch. He thrives on affection and praise. When I go on my yoga mat for my practice Caleb thinks I’m fair game for play and will snuggle into my butt while I do leg lifts or drive me crazy with his squeaky toy trying to distract me and play with him. I have had several different people over to visit. Once Caleb greets them gently he curls up on the nearby couch or will lie under the card table with his head on one person’s feet and his butt on someone else. Most people are amazed to learn he’s still a puppy because he is so calm and gentle. He loves people and welcomes visitors. In the house Caleb is pretty good on the recall command . I have taken him on a 50 foot long line to a green space nearby so he can get in some running. His recall can be comical as he comes running full speed and doesn’t always stop in time. I have to do a quick side step so he doesn’t run into me. It’s a work in progress. Caleb loves being outdoors and he spends time on a 30 foot long line in my backyard since I don’t have a fenced in yard. He is content to observe, chew his toys and explore while I work in the garden nearby. In the morning when I open his crate Caleb does a big stretch and then waits for an all over body rub before heading to the kitchen for a treat puzzle and waits for me to get my shoes on to go for our first walk of the day. He is very patient and once he sees I’m ready he comes over to get his lead put on. At the writing of this bio Caleb has been with me for a few months and has made amazing progress. He is a very intelligent puppy who is quick to learn. I have trained Caleb on the gentle leader because of his size and strength, but he rarely pulls when walking unless he catches a scent he really wants to follow . I was expecting him to pull when he encountered bunnies, squirrels and chipmunks but he just stops and watches them until they disappear and then he continues on his walk. Caleb spotted a baby toad on the road one night and was fascinated. He gently nudged it with his nose and it did a little hop forward. Caleb continued this gentle play for several minutes before we resumed our walk. Caleb is a very social puppy who loves to meet both people and other dogs.. He is very gentle with these encounters and is a bit sad when I won’t let him meet everyone on our walks. He automatically sits patiently when others approach hoping I’ll let him meet. This is something he learned to do all by himself. Because he’s a big puppy he can seem a bit intimidating to little dogs so we usually meet at a 3 foot distance. Caleb recently met my neighbours 2 cats in a friendly manner. He has no problem with cars passing by but large trucks and the back up noise made by the garbage truck startled him. Caleb is being fostered in a small rural community with nearby green spaces for his walks. Caleb settles well in my suv on a tether. If there’s a passenger in the back seat he’ll snuggle into them looking for a treat. When I put the rear window wiper on it startled him and he barked at it. Caleb is highly food motivated. Unless he’s being rewarded for obedience training sessions he has to work for his treats. He was quick to solve a level 1 and 2 treat puzzle and I have had to go to a higher level to stimulate his brain. Caleb can be a counter surfer so all food needs to be kept out of his reach. He is a bottomless pit with a healthy appetite just like any growing puppy. During the day when it’s getting near meal time Caleb will sometimes sit and look longingly at the kitchen counter where his treat and kibble containers are kept hoping I’ll give in. Caleb drinks a lot and should have access to the outdoors for a bathroom break every 4 hours or so. He does hold for 8 hours overnight. Caleb likes his human to be home more than away. He rarely barks or whines unless I leave the house. He is crated when I leave the house and he will whine for a few minutes when I first leave and then remains quiet until my return. I have checked with my neighbours to verify this. Caleb may regress when he moves to his forever home but with patience and time it can be overcome. Because of this Caleb would not be suitable for an apartment or condo where he would disturb neighbours. Caleb goes into his crate willingly with a treat and sleeps quietly through the night. He will sometimes wander into his crate during the day to see if he’s left a treat behind. Caleb is a wonderful pup full of love, energy and a sweet gentle nature. He is looking for a home preferably with a fenced in yard where he can free play and run to work off his high energy. His family needs to be outdoor oriented and willing to spend the time walking and hiking that this puppy needs. He would be fine with older children, over 6yrs of age, who would enjoy teaching Caleb how to play fetch. Caleb shouldn’t be left on his own for a full workday and would benefit from someone who worked from home or a family with alternate schedules so someone is home more often. Caleb is looking for a family who has the time and energy to help this sweet puppy reach his full potential. If you’re that family please consider Caleb. He’s so worth it.

This little god of love is active, full of life, and very ready to meet his forever family. Eros is a cuddle bug who is sweet, playful, and will be sure to bring a smile to your face. Eros has a big personality and a big heart. He is game for just about anything, whether it is heading out for a sniffy walk, pets and belly rubs, rolling and playing on the grass, or just chilling out on his bed. Eros is an active guy and loves walks and indoor enrichment like a snuffle mat or peanut butter kong. He is medium energy. When getting ready for his walks, Eros will give full body wiggles to show his enthusiasm. He loves to cuddle and has little respect for personal space (in a very cute and endearing way!). He likes to snuggle under your arm and give you hugs and kisses. He is an entertaining companion and sure to bring lots of laughs. Eros may take a moment to meet and warm up to new people but once he does he is nothing but loving and attentive. Eros currently gets two walks between 30-45 minutes each, plus play time in the backyard, potty breaks, and indoor and outdoor enrichment such as treat puzzles, frozen lick mats, or foraging games. He can pull on leash when he finds something very interesting but can be redirected. He may react to other dogs he sees on leash by crying or barking and may react to strangers by becoming tense and growling or barking, especially if strange men approach him. Sometimes he has no problem passing people on the street. His fosters are working on this will him by giving him space from strangers and redirecting his attention to them or blocking his view until he calms down. In the house, Eros wants to be close to his people. He has been left both in and out of the crate and while he is not destructive, he is vocal and will cry and bark for up to 20 minutes. His fosters are working on this with him but his adoptive family should be prepared to continue helping him cope with this anxiety. Eros sleeps through the night on his bed in his fosters' room. Eros is working on basic training and knows sit, down, and is working on stay and recall (has not been tested off-leash). He is potty trained. His adoptive family will need to continue working on basic obedience with him. Eros previously lived with another dog and did well with him but sometimes he can't take a hint and got in the other dog's face. He really wants to play and can't always take cues from other dogs. He would likely do very well with a playful, patient dog who can tolerate his puppy antics and show him the ropes, but would also be fine as the only dog in the home. Eros hasn't been exposed to cats and is looking for a cat-free home. Eros' perfect family will be active and patient as he gets comfortable and builds his confidence. He would do great in a house with a backyard to run around and burn some energy. He would do well with older, dog-savvy kids (10+) but his enthusiastic style of play might be too much for smaller children. He needs a committed family who can work with him on basic obedience, and boosting his confidence. Eros has all the makings of an exceptional family pet and we can't wait for this very good boy to find his special family. Eros is a flight risk and our top priority in his furever home is safety. His forever family must take precautions to keep him safe and secure, including the purchase of a GPS tracker which will be required for adoption.

Tangyi is a calm and gentle soul who gets along wonderfully in group settings with other dogs. Even when other dogs act provocatively, Tangyi avoids conflict and displays submissive behavior, showcasing her mild and peaceful temperament. While she may initially feel timid around strangers who approach her suddenly, she quickly warms up and reveals her affectionate and well-mannered nature once she gets to know them. Tangyi’s slightly reserved personality is balanced by her strong attachment to her owner. This bond can sometimes lead to signs of separation anxiety, so she would thrive in a home where her family can provide her with the love and attention she needs. She shows no particular interest in cats and does not chase them, making her a great fit for households with feline friends. On walks, Tangyi has excellent leash manners and enjoys exploring the world at a relaxed pace. She is also comfortable riding in vehicles, which makes traveling with her a breeze. Given her shy nature, Tangyi will need some time and patience to adjust to a new home and family. During this period, allowing her to settle in and feel secure will help her blossom into the perfect companion. Although Tangyi is currently doing well with walks in her foster home, she may feel startled in unfamiliar environments. For her safety, we recommend using a double leash during walks until she feels more confident. Tangyi is likely to adapt well to a multi-dog household. In fact, having a dog sibling could help ease her separation anxiety. Her calm and well-mannered personality makes her an ideal addition to a harmonious family with other pets. Tangyi is ready to bring love and serenity to a new home. We’re so excited to see her thrive in her forever family!

 Quick Facts  Name: Jegook Age: 2 years old  Gender: Male Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix Colour: Black Weight:  26kg   My Story Hi there! My name is Jegook! I’m a 1.5-year-old Jindo-Labrador mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for life! My sleek black coat makes me look sharp, but don’t let that fool you—I’m just a goofy, lovable boy who’s always ready to make new friends. I weigh about 26 kg (57 lbs), so I’m a sturdy guy, but it just means there’s more of me to love! I’ve had a bit of a bumpy start to life. I was born in a factory where I spent my early months, but when my owner decided they couldn’t keep me, I was sent to a new home—only to find out I was being sold to a dog farm. Thankfully, a kind factory worker who adored me stepped in to rescue me just in time. Despite my challenging beginnings, I’ve never lost my happy spirit or my love for people.   Personality I’m a friendly, outgoing pup who loves meeting new people. I’ll come right up to say hello, and I’m not shy about leaning in for cuddles. Once I feel comfortable, you’ll see me rolling over for belly rubs—my favorite thing! While I can be playful and energetic, I also have a calm, gentle side, especially after a good round of exercise. I’ve got a bit of that classic Labrador charm combined with the thoughtful nature of a Jindo.   My Social Side I’m great with other dogs, big or small! I’ll run up to introduce myself and ask if they want to play. If a dog isn’t in the mood to hang out, I’m okay with walking away and doing my own thing. I’m still learning to manage my excitement during playtime with high-energy friends, but I listen to my human when they guide me. Cats, on the other hand, are a mystery to me—I haven’t spent much time around them yet.   My Energy Level & Walks   I have a high energy level and love outdoor activities! Running, playing, and exploring are my favorite ways to spend the day. That said, after some exercise, I’m happy to settle down and relax by your side. I walk pretty well on a leash, though I sometimes get distracted by exciting smells and stop to sniff along the way. With consistent guidance, I’ll keep improving.   Why You’ll Love Me I’m a goofy, loving, and loyal companion who’s ready to bring joy and laughter to your life. I adore people, and my friendly nature makes me a wonderful family dog. I might need a bit of help with house training and learning new routines, but I’m eager to learn and love to please. Plus, I’m already kennel trained and a big fan of water—whether it’s a swim in a lake or a splashy bath! If you’re looking for a dog with a big heart, lots of energy, and endless love to give, I might just be your perfect match. Let’s start this adventure together!    Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTkGqqk5kO0&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JyRD_lK5TU5u6LYEQianikv ##2253594##
