Title: Looking for a lab breeder in Eastern Wa
Post by: Pathfinder101 on January 24, 2009, 11:12:55 PM: I posted this earlier on the General Board, but thought I would put it here too.

My golden died last year and I have been promising my boy that we would get a lab. His birthday is next month. Anybody know a decent lab breeder where I can get a puppy for around $400?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanx

The dogs are very solid upland dogs ( both solid on point) and great in the water. I would highly recommend Doug and Alices dogs,Great people and great dogs.. My first lab from them is on thier pointing lab page his name was Ruger.. Ruger got killed shortly after I got him back from training. Now I have Harley and His dad is Hornet also on the same page.. Good Luck

How do I get in contact with your roommate? 10 weeks is a little old, but I may have to consider it. Every other breeder is around $700.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on February 11, 2009, 04:37:09 PM: Yeah, on the way back from the breeder, with the puppy sleeping on his lap, my son said: "I love him soo much. Is this how you and mom feel about me..."

I'll be honest, I teared up a little...

Here's another picture. This one is our 1 1/2 year old "helping" the puppy sleep.
