Bob is a good guy. His dogs are nice. Some people don't like the "sort of show, sort of field" breedings but, they'd probably make great hunting partners. I know Bob keeps up on the health clearances on his dogs so, they'd be a good choice if you're looking for a person who is a responsible breeder.
Thank you for the info. I have some concerns with the puppy contract and we are trying to work it out.

I just checked out their website. Sure appears they are good breeders and doing things right. I assume you are looking at getting one of the pups expected to be born on the 25Th? The parents are both good looking dogs and built right. I bet you are excited to get him or her home!
I talked to the breeder Bob Morris for the first time tonight. We had been emailing back and forth about a change to the puppy contract. We worked it out tonight. I have a lot of research on him and it looks like he is a top notch guy. I went to Cougar Mountain because his labs are English lines. There are other English line breeders but his breeding pair were both blocky looking which I want. A lot of the others had females that were a little pointy in the nose. I don't think there is anything wrong with that just not the look I wanted.
I also wanted white or light colored yellow female. His dogs have been throwing some of the very light pups. Again just my taste.
Also his dogs are doing a lot of different jobs. Which tells me they are very trainable. In the end its a crap shoot with a little edge.
I am excited , I have started rereading all my training books and redoing my kennel and dog house. We have cleaned out a corner in the dining room for a dog crate where pup will stay until I feel she is old enough to sleep out at night in her kennel.
And I have already picked a name. Now I am heading outside to do my yellow lab female dance in hopes it will cause a litter that is 3/4 yellow females to choose from out of all black breeding pair. :)

I didn't get my lab from Bob but he seems like a stand up guy. The dogs look good and he is able to get them through the tests. I wouldn't mind buying Judd.. That looks like a nice lab. :drool:
That dog has had a ton of training. He'd be a bargain for someone who wants a turn key dog. He'd probably be the best dog within miles of your blind-

If I find something elsewhere he will refund it. But my son just bought a house and he will be looking after he gets settled so he might use my deposit with Bob.
