My Silver Lab is almost 3 now. I trained him as my first dog and hunting dog and he has turned out great. Also great with the kids. He is fast out of the boat for ducks and the blind for geese. We are still working on the upland but he had a really good quail hunt in December.
Goose came from Platinum Lab Kennels in WI. I went with Bobby at Platinum because of timing of when I wanted the dog and not much choice in this area. Bobby was great to work with and we still talk of hunting together one of the days when either of us travels.
