Her she came to us from a shelter in Southern Idaho. She is a 6 month old puppy! She was surrendered by owners who were renters without landlord permission and had no fenced yard. She outgrew her "cuteness" and got dumped at the pound. A 6 month old Lab /Airedale is at the very beginning of their destructive teenage stage. If you can survive until age 2 this will be the best family dog you have ever had! Her nice tight wire coat is low to non-shedding. She takes after the Airedale more than the labrador. She is an assertive, dominant female.
