Meet Slade, a handsome chocolate Lab just shy of 2 years old, with striking ember eyes and a drive that could become something truly special in the right hands. This energetic boy shines in one-on-one settings where his focus is impressive and his eagerness to engage is clear. Add in a few distractions, though, and his playful, puppy-like nature still takes over – he’s young, enthusiastic, and still learning to channel all that energy appropriately. Slade truly wants to be the best boy he can be and is looking for a special family experienced with working breeds and their high energy levels to help him reach his full potential.
Ideal Home
Slade would thrive in an active home that can provide consistent training and clear boundaries, plenty of physical exercise, mental stimulation and structured activities, and an experienced handler who understands working-drive dogs.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
His leash manners are decent, but he’ll need continued work on his heel command. He knows “sit” and “down,” especially when treats are involved, though he can show a bit of a stubborn streak. With consistent reinforcement, structure, and positive training, Slade has all the potential to grow into an incredible companion. The team at Pura Sanguine works diligently to provide behavior and medical care to prepare their animals for adoption, including vetting, behavioral training, and social enrichment. They also work on leash training and basic commands.
