Welcome to Crazy for Dogs!
Sirius of the Week
Pebbles is a purebred Labrador Retriever. She was 7 weeks old in this photo.
She is very playful and sweet.
Pebbles' favorite thing to do at this age was sleep 18 hours a day and play the
other 6 hours. Her family is amazed by her quick ability to listen
and obey. Her temperament with young children is also amazing.

Beware of Internet Puppy Scams: Unfortunately, unscrupulous people have been sending emails offering to sell pedigree puppies (bulldogs, pugs, and others). Similar phony websites are also on the web. These emails and websites are fake. They are designed to cheat you out of your money either by never sending you the puppy or by sending you a different dog from what you paid for. Your best bet: If you want a purebred, contact a local breed-specific rescue group. Or if you just want a new best friend, save a life from your local animal pound.
