Title: looking for a Lab
Post by: Derailed on July 02, 2015, 01:37:59 PM: The wife has given me permission to get a dog, however the wife not being a dog person doesn't want to drop a big chunk of money for a puppy. I am looking for a Lab but I am open to suggestions. If you have one or know where to get one shoot me a pm. Thanks.

I have had a golden before she was a sweet dog. I had a lab chessie mix once she was a great hunter and very headstrong. I would be open to either.

Curly I hope you are right, She did not like our last two dogs a male black lab and a female golden, they were getting up in their years when we got them from my mom. I am hoping a puppy could change her mind.

I would have liked to get one from them but they didn't have any chocolates available. Maybe contact them and take the wife to meet some of the pups on the ground to see if it is something you guys are interested in!

Hey duckhunter81, who is your female out of? I had a son of Willie (Jet's sire) and loved him. From what I've heard Jet is a great dog and those should be some nice pups.

Can damage joints.

When you start training , train first , play after.

Good luck.

The kids like playing with him and when they are "training" I am watching to ensure that we are doing the same thing. I will check out the DVD.

Currently he get lifted up and down off stuff. The kids would carry him around all day if they had their way.

Thanks for the advice.
