Graham - Flat Coated Retriever and Newfoundland Dog Dog for Adoption in Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia

Meet Graham
Graham is a gorgeous young dog. We rescued him from a high kill shelter. We have no idea how he ended up there because he's really terrific. Since arriving Graham has won the hearts of our staff with his low-key, sweet and loving demeanor.
Graham is about two years old. We think he's a flat coated/newfoundland mix. The characteristics of a flat-coated newfie mix are some of the best. These dogs have gentle and laid-back demeanors - check; eager to please and intelligent -check, check; friendly and affectionate - check, check again; sociable and loving- check and check! Graham fits these personality traits to a T. He's a gorgeous pup with a luxurious, silky black coat, warm brown eyes and a happy grin. He has the longest legs and could use with a few more pounds on his slender frame. He currently weighs about 70 lbs. He is an easy walker, but he can pull slightly when he gets scared. Graham has had an uncertain past and he is quiet. He's incredibly sweet. He likes other dogs. Given Grahams sweet nature, he should be great with kids. This mixed breed makes for an excellent family companion and we have no reason to believe that Graham would be any different. He is athletic and would be a great hiking or walking companion. We can see him strolling around the neighborhood and garnering many admirable glances from neighbors. Graham will need a fenced yard to keep him safe and give him a place to run. We want to make sure he never finds himself on the run, scared and alone. We are smitten with Graham, and every day we fall more in love with this gorgeous, sweet, friendly, regal, affectionate, smart and lovely pup. Graham will be neutered before going home.

The Flat Coated Retriever is a versatile and friendly dog breed known for its glossy black or liver-colored coat and elegant appearance. Intelligent and easy to train, this breed excels in various activities like hunting, agility, and obedience competitions. With a playful and affectionate nature, Flat Coated Retrievers make excellent family pets, getting along well with children and other animals. Despite their outgoing personality, they can be prone to health issues such as cancer, so regular health check-ups are important to ensure a long and happy life.

The Newfoundland Dog is a large and powerful breed known for their gentle and sweet nature. Originating from Newfoundland, Canada, these dogs are excellent swimmers with a thick water resistant coat. Their impressive size and strength make them ideal working dogs for water rescue missions. With a friendly demeanor and patient attitude, Newfoundland Dogs are great family pets, especially with children. Training and socialization are crucial for these intelligent and loyal companions to thrive.
