Bowie Yellow Labrador Retriever & Labradoodle Mix Indianapolis, IN

Bowie is a 1 1/2 yr old sweet, loving and gentle Labradoodle. He is smart and easily trained using treats and praise. He can sit, shake paw, give hugs. Bowie is strong on a leash but is making progress when we work with him. Bowie does have some anxiety so raising your voice isn’t effective – he will just shut down. Bowie loves playing ball though he is still working on bringing the ball back to us. He also loves squeaky toys.

When Bowie is anxious and uncomfortable, he will let you know by making a low growling noise. He doesn’t like to be snuck up on. When we got Bowie, he was sensitive to touch around the collar and paws. While he still doesn’t love to have his paws touched, he is making tremendous progress when we work with him. I can know touch him freely around the collar without reaction.

Bowie is house trained. While he doesn’t love his crate, he will go in it and quietly sleep through the night.

Bowie LOVES chasing squirrels and rabbits! He seems to do OK with my cats. While he doesn’t pay much attention to them, Bowie will occasionally chase them if they make fast and sudden movement. Our dog does the same thing.

Bowie is not food aggressive with humans but will growl if our dog gets too close while he is eating. The same is true with toys. Bowie has been left unattended in the home with out incident and does not counter surf.

Bowie is currently in Springfield,IL with his foster family which includes 2 teenagers, a dog and cats.
