Meet the newest member of my team of real estate professionals... Sam, the Ivory Labrador Retriever, and he's here to help me sniff out the good deals! (ok, I know that's corny).
Sam the Ivory Lab
Sam is 11 weeks old here, and likes to chew on anything he can find (including my notebook computer as I am trying to type this article!) Technically he's considered a 'yellow' lab, by the American Kennel Club (AKC), but other's refer to the breed as white or ivory, or as a snow lab.

Sam is a clumsy 26 pounds as pictured here, and will grow to be 70-80 pounds (he has big ole' paws, he'll grow into them eventually). Labs are an energetic breed, this little guy is no exception as he will hardly cooperate and sit still long enough to have his picture taken. Labs do best if they have room to run, but could work for you in a smaller home if exercised often.
Loves playing in the snow and (unfortunately) eating pine cones
"Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor." (http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/labrador.htm)
