BlueBarry Labrador Retriever & Hound Mix Montclair, NJ

Great WATCHDOG. This 60 pound (approx age 4 years) hound mix called Blue is on top of his game when it comes to demonstrating he's all about keeping watch over his family and their domain. In times like these he can make sleep a bit easier with his acute hearing and sense of smell inherent in the nose of hound. Blue's also an athletic sports enthusiast with a love of outdoor life and the promise of adventure it holds. He's faster than a strong wind when he runs full out like a greyhound at the track. Do you jog, have a pool or camp/hike near mountain streams? Have you been thinking you'd feel safer with a companion that can athletically keep up with your pace and a size and overall appearance that would make someone with questionable intentions think twice on a trail or overnight camping?

Spirit, speed and protection are the descriptive qualities I'd assign to Blue. Best suited to a stable, energetic lifestyle dynamic - truck or jeep a plus! Spacious living - no apartments, town homes or close community neighborhoods where houses are tight and streets are constantly busy. He's more the Little House on the Prairie type hound.

He's smart. He can look you right in the eye when you say LOOK and point at your eyes (my favorite). He works hard for food. What you'd call a chow-hound as he eats everything. Gets along with other friendly dogs smaller than him. He enjoys rough manly games like tug and he can get some impressive lift off those four paws - a huge plus for a serious Frisbee tosser.

Blue needs TRUSTWORTHY stable leadership and structure. We've built the foundation for him and he's ready for the next rung on the ladder. Call Aunt Mary 908-362-1333 or e:mail auntmarysdoghouse@yahoo.com if you think Blue could be a potential match to your household dynamic
