Answer:

Hence the required probability is, 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:  

At the shelter, he likes :  

a male coolie, a female coolie, a male boxer, a female boxer, a male beagle, a female beagle, a male Labrador, and a female Labrador.  

Let, A denote the event of selecting a male coolie and B denote the event of selecting a male Labrador.  

P(A) = 1/8 = P(B)  

Here the probability of selecting a puppy except A & B is,  

P(AUB)c = 1 - P(AUB) = 1 - { P(A) + P(B) } = 1 - 1/8 - 1/8 = 3/4
