Goku Labrador Retriever & German Shepherd Dog Mix Manhattan, KS

MEET GOKU! Breed: best guess: mix of yellow Lab, Shepherd and possibly Carolina Dog (“American Dingo”) Young adult—Male--Large (75 lbs.)–Color: light yellow. Characteristics: Smart, energetic, affectionate. Coat: short/medium House trained: yes! Health: Neutered, Up-to-date on vaccinations, plus heartworm, flea, and tick meds. Other dogs: would probably do well in a home with other dogs if properly introduced. Cats and children: no experience. Goku is between 2 and 4 years old and weighs 75 lbs. We guess he’s a mix of yellow Lab, Shepherd, and possibly Carolina Dog (also called “American Dingo”). Because of his level of energy, Goku needs a consistent and experienced owner with a fenced yard, which unfortunately we do not have. Naturally then he needs quite a lot of exercise. He is agile and beautiful, especially when running to fetch a ball! We love him, but as seniors we realize he deserves a younger (or stronger) person or family, who could easily take him on daily walks, hikes or runs. He loves playing with his toys but will also lounge with us on the sofa or at our feet. He sleeps with us, very quietly. He’s good on leash (with reminders), but if he sees another dog, he tends to bark and pull. When appropriately introduced, he plays nicely with other dogs. When he meets people in the house, he is gentle and friendly, but sometimes cautious with strangers he meets outdoors. He can be left home alone without being crated. I’d love to see him in a home with someone who stays or works at home! Goku is very bright and typically does not jump on people, but he often needs to be reminded of correct behavior.
