I'm meeting for deliveries today in Moses Lake. I have one black male and two older yellows available, (male & female).

I've got some pups that will be ready in February and am willing to meet where you'd only drive two hours. I've got great references.

Make sure they've been tested for hips, elbows, eic, cnm and pra. If the breeder says it isnt important find a new breeder or, just go to the pound and rescue a dog that needs a good home.

Here's a pic of my pup "Tine" at 3.5 months. He's 5 months now, so he will be just a hair young for this shed season. I will take him along and if I see one I'll have him "find the bone". Look up Tom Dokken on youtube talking about shed hunting. Some good info to start with. He also sells his antler scent at Cabelas. It looks like a tube of chapstick, I think its called Rack wax.

That is a great looking dog and love the name. We ended up naming our pup "Booner"  :chuckle:.  I ordered Tom's video and a few other products from his website a few days ago. I already own Roger Sigler's video from a few years ago (very low quality). I also purchased Bill Hillman's "Training a Retriever Puppy" video and his "The Fetch Command" video

That's why you don't buy a lab from a breeder who won't spend $65 dollars to do a PRA test to find out if they should be bred at all. Call Doug and Joan. They have all the clearances and proven performing dogs.

It definitely looks like rattling ridge has some good dogs.

This breeder's dogs appear to have good pedigree too.
