ADOPTED

Sam is a cheerful 5-year-old boy whose owners surrendered him to GRR when they could no longer care for him. He's a small fellow, just 55 to 60 pounds, with a fringy, wavy coat. Sam has been living on a farm, and he gets along great with all the other dogs there; he's a follower, not a leader, and likes to keep his pal Duke the German Shepherd company. He even likes to mingle with the horses. As a retriever, he IS interested in chickens and ducks; he watches them closely and isn't above chasing them.

Sam is housebroken and crate-trained. He's great with kids and doesn't jump up at all-and he's too short to counter-surf! He knows "sit," "down," and "come," but hasn't yet mastered the concept of "stay." He likes to grab and nibble at your clothing when he's trying to get your attention, but his foster mom has almost broken him of that habit. He's fond of splashing in water and enjoys going for a swim. When he's waiting for a pat or a treat, he tends to hunker down right in front of you, wagging his tail vigorously. This is very cute!

Sam's small size and "nonstandard" coat indicate that there may be a few drops of terrier or schnauzer blood way back in the great-greats of his family tree, but his personality is all Golden. Is there someone out there looking for a friendly, even-tempered little guy like Sam? He would love to meet you and complete your family!
