Rookie is a 9 month English chocolate lab. He weighs 100 lbs and is all puppy. He will chase cats but loves dogs. He would be too much for small dogs however. He loves children, but small children could get knocked over due to his size. He knows basic commands, loves his crate and doesn't pull to bad on the leash. He is very active and needs an active family with a fence. He is not a dog for seniors. We don't know if he swims, but we imagine he would take to water with some experience, because he loves a bath! Everyone that has met this gentle giant, says he is a great boy!
