Nova female mixed lab RETRIEVER dog, she is small and all black with a little white in her coat...sometimes she even looks brown at times. I rescued her at 3 months and have been loving and enjoying her ever since.she is very quiet but pays attention to family...shes always ready to play.....very energetic....she doesn't bark ...only when she feels threatened or even sometimes when she feels ignored....she is very strong...she loves taking charge on her walks ....she even sometimes starts standing on her two feet because shes so excited about the walk....she loves other dogs can adapt... oh and she loves food. when I rescued her I didn't have anything for her but now i have papers on her and she has all of her vaccinations.
