Meet Brownie, one super-sweet fifth of the Alyssa litter! This darling, 5-month-old Lab/Hound mix is ready to steal some hearts and find their fur-ever home. While this unique breed mix brings the friendly, goofy and fun-loving energy of a lab, it also comes with the affectionate, loyal and independent hound personality. If you’re looking for a lovable family member with big ears and a bigger heart, this little guy is ready to meet you! Brownie has adjusted well to foster care and gets along well with the adults and children, littermates and other dogs in the home. He is a little bit cautious when meeting new people—some treats and play time will help break the ice! We haven’t had the chance to see how Brownie interacts with cats. He likes to roughhouse in the yard with his littermates, snuggle on the couch, and is clean and quiet in the crate when the weather is bad. He’s even made great progress with house training! Like a typical hound puppy, he can be pretty vocal in play and towards strangers. Bringing a young puppy home is definitely not all kisses and rainbows! Like anything worthwhile, it takes a lot of work and patience. This 5-month-old is still learning the ropes and needs to learn household manners and basic commands. Investing time into positive obedience training and socialization right now is super important to help puppies grow into an amazing adult dogs. It’s very rewarding and fun, too!
