I would like some names of good breeders, in Washington. I would like to keep the price under $1000, and I do not wont to have to have a FBI background check before I can buy. Yes I do want to have the heath guarantee. I run into that with my last lab to point that I had to put him down at the age of 2 years.
I live in SW Washington and would like a breeder close to me, so I could visit and talk with them, with out a 3,4,or even 6 hour drive.
thank you.

Here is a Ireland Dog. 16 months female. She is British but he has all flavors. And you will not find a nicer Breeder to deal with.

talk to bryant or cindy meyers at rockingmlabs,great people and dogs!!!
I have had 3 dogs from Bryant and Cindy, currently a 5 yr old yellow female and a 10 month old black male, both great dogs. Had a really nice yellow male I had to put down a couple years ago. My dogs hunt like crazy but sleep in bed with my kids. You wont be disappointed.

Here is an article written recently about Butch. He's a class act who breeds dogs responsibly with the intent of bettering the breed and doing all the right health certifications.

Talk to Butch Higgins. If he doesn't have a litter available he is well connected and would help you find a good pup. He doesn't breed a lot of dogs. I question folks who are always pumping out litters or have two, three and sometimes four litters on the ground at the same time. That is pretty much just a puppy mill no matter how well the folks explain it.

Lee at Wind River Labs is also and excellent contact. She breeds dogs with health and performance in mind. I am not a big fan of the show dogs and folks who mix show dogs and field dogs with hopes of getting something "in between". It rarely if, ever works out in that favor. Usually, you get a dogs with the poor qualities of both sides instead of one or the others' good quality.
