Retiree - Yellow female 

Our special needs girl.  Approximately 5 weeks ago one of our beloved family girls had an event called an FCE.  Suddenly she was paralyzed from her waist down.  In over 50 years of breeding labradors, I have never experienced such a thing.  Since that day, I have learned so much.  The experts gave us a 75% of full or almost full recovery.  As the the feeling returns for her, motor skills and bladder/bowel control return.  Sometimes this can take months.  In our girls case, it has taken only weeks.  There is some remaining weakness in the left hind leg.  But the tail is wagging once again, her gait is almost perfect, she has total control of eliminations, she is handily going up about 4 stairs without a problem.  Her muscle strength is returning...slippery floors are her current nemesis.  According to the specialist, the event does not return and she will not go backwards  Just at some point she will plateau.  Is that at full recovery or 90%.  I wish we could know. 

So before this event, our girl was raised in the house.  Totally housebroken, crate trained, kind to all living things, she is completley unreactive to other dogs and animals.  She loves to ride in the car, swim in the pool and go for walks.

Our special girl is looking for the perfect couple/family that will offer her love and patience to continue her recovery.  If you have a place in your heart for the kindest yellow girl, feel free to reach out.  I would be happy to discuss her with you, share videos etc.

She is up to date on all vet care, has extensive health clearances including hips, elbows, eyes, cardiac, EIC, PRA,CM, DM, etc.

A started dog has generally begun training and is somewhere between a puppy and a teenager.

Our retirees are lovely girls generally 6-7 years old. They are great in the house and well behaved. They get along with everyone and everything 2 and 4 legged

"All dogs chew, jump up, bark and nip. Its part of being a dog.....If you aren't prepared to live with a little of these activities - especially in puppy stages - you're really better off with an iguana."
