Hunter enjoyed the bark park exploration with the usual gusto and frolic that you would expect from a Black Lab. And then Hunter was presented with one of his fantasies as he received the invitation from the doggy wading pool to hop in and enjoy an episode of a canine favorite watersport plop and splash. It isn’t very easy to perform a dog-paddle stroke in 5 inches of water, but Hunter didn’t let that slow him down. Hunter then took great delight in the human’s diabolical game of hotdog retrieving from the bottom of the pool. Hunter showed great promise as he honed his hunt and retrieve skills that would be applicable while assisting a human on a similar endeavor. 1 ½ year-old Hunter performed respectful spontaneous sits and showed a notable desire just to be close to the human. He has a nice rapport with his tail that he wagged at a metronome perfect 1 beat per second. Hunter is a medium sized 49-pound canine who will fit comfortably on the seat next to you on the way to the lake or on the way to Stuttgart or on the way to a Zaxby’s drive thru.
