This dog could not be more well rounded.  She is strong and confident.  She is very spunky and goofy, yet very laid back. She seems to bark about once a year on average. If i had to select traits in a dog I wanted, she would easily tick off every category.

Mel is incredibly smart. You can tell she just gets what your saying. She knows my body language so well that she always seems to know what I'm about to do. Sometimes I swear she can read my mind. And she is incredibly intelligent. She know many of her toys by name. for example, we can say "where is Grey Bear?", and she will go find Grey Bear. It's really impressive.

Mel always stays by my side, her recall is great. She has never destroyed any property, got into the trash or ran away! Absolutely no bad behavior. She loves her food, but does not beg. I think she has become the dominant dog in our house. But she is very kind about it, the others just let her have what she wants without incident.  Between my 3 girls, there has never been one scuffle, bite, snap or even growl.

You can usually find Mel carrying as many toys as she can fit in her mouth. Anything cloth like is her favorite.  Its like a clown car sometimes when all the toys tumble out.

Lastly, she has the sweetest, kindest eyes i have ever seen on a dog. Truly beautiful!

Mel is out of Hadley's Amazing Gracie at Labradorable English Lab's and Windancing's White Mountain at Maple Creek (Rocco). Also in Mel's Pedigree is Kelly Green Labs, Borador Lab's, Witherow's, Wilmar's and Zimmerman's.
