You might want to look into Ireland Farms. Warren is a very easy breeder to work with as well. I have a chocolate out of his stock. She is a great family dog and an exceptional retriever for both upland and waterfowl. I know of two other Ireland Farm labs locally that have grown up to be great hunters as well.

:yeah: You beat me to it Tim :tup: My pup from Warren has been a Godsend...not to jack the thread but who else has an Ireland Farms' pup? BTY mine is a Chocolate Female that is 1 yr 4 months. PM if you have any questions. I saw on their site they have a yellow available due to a due to a family emergency or something :dunno:

Whatever you do, please please make sure you buy from a breeder who does health clearances.
I know pretty much all of the breeders that were listed. Most of them are great and do their clearances and offer a TWO YEAR (or more) health guarantee.
Several of Warren's chocolate dogs that he is breeding have come from me. We have worked together for years.

I would check with Lee at Wind River, or Sharon who owns Wind River SST, (Jet), to see any recent breedings she's done with him. I'm not sure if Sharon's on here, but Lee and I have her contact info.

My female is 5-1/2 and from Tiger Mountain pointing labs in Ellensburg. Awesome upland dog and does great at waterfowl even though I spent almost no time training her for it. She wasn't cheap though.

White Chocolate labs? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I would steer clear of the imbred "Specialty" dogs! Labs come in three colors and that's it. Call Warren at Ireland as mentioned above. He'll help you out or point you in the right direction.

"White Chocolate" is a term given to yellow labs that have chocolate characteristics. Instead of black around their eyes, lips and black noses, they are brown like a chocolate lab. While this not dedesirable in show dogs, they aren't inbred or "Specialty" dogs by any means. If a chocolate is bred with a yellow lab, there is a good chance of producing "White Chocolate" labs.

It's called a Dudley. Not a desireable genetic trait. Typically, can be avoided through proper breeding.

I live in Roy. We had a litter 2 weeks ago. First litter from this female. Se is out of Alberta. Great hunting dog. She was leaping off of a 6' dock at 4 months to retrieve. Bred with a Silver. We have 3 males left. Great dogs. Her pups carry the silver gene. It is a dilute gene. When her pups are bred with a dog with the silver gene you have a 50% chance to get silvers.Would like to work with the trainer that had a dog retrieving at 4 months. Or even close to it. I am a first time water dog person and at 7 months not there yet (or close). Please let me know the contact info.

I always have my pups retrieving birds before 4 months.
What are you doing to encourage the retrieve?
You are welcome to come down and train and we can see what you need to work on.
Strike just under 4 months here.

Been working basic training like "sit, stay, etc". Work got super busy and have not found any training methods for a water dog that really look right for me. She will retrieve thrown balls etc. Shamefully I need to "get started" but need a little guidense. Would drive out to train some for sure!Craig, throw a ball, there Labs!

Lee's pups are well above average. A talked to a 1/2 dozen people who have her pups before I decided to purchase one, all gave good reports.
My pup is doing great, considering my training schedule was interrupted a couple of times, for extended periods, over the past 2 yrs.
Other than having a little bit of a drinking problem, he's doing great :chuckle:

I still have no idea what could have happened to make them change their mind in an instant like that, but I have read in other online searches about their questionable business practices and breeding activities.
Don't get left heartbroken like we did. This puppy was to replace a brown lab we had to put down at two from cancer. Thankfully a much BETTER breeder took pity on our story and is offering us another puppy. We will always be grateful to them!
