Would absolutely recommend tri lab kennels. Would tell you to flee tiger mountain. I would rather have no dog than a tiger mountain dog. Sutter Bay retrievers in Salem Or would be a great option as well. Sorry to hear of your loss.
Why would you recommend avoiding Tiger Mountain?

My first lab from John wrecked his knee during his first hunting season. Being a newbie and having him tell me to contact him with any questions I called and asked him what to do. To which he replied that in 30 years on running dogs he neve had to deal with a bad knee.... seriously never once on dogs that run as hard as labs have you had a knee injury. Second dog died within 6 weeks of coming home despite an assortment of vet attempts to save the little guy. We are not sure where he picked up the parvo that killed him but we had been following the shot schedule and again when we reached out to John we where cold shouldered. I was clear with him I was looking for insite not refund or blaming him for either dog. No dice he swore up and down he never had either issue. Maybe I am just jaded.
After my experience I asked around the dog community about him and got the “I don’t want bad mouth a guy in a small community but I don’t trust him.” He talks a great game on the sales side and is good at playing to the new guy. I will say the force fetch work he did on my first dog was really effective on a otherwise stubborn dog.
Tiger Mountian may have some good dogs and happy customers. I may have just crapped out on both dogs and pulled the short straw twice. However to me the mark of any good business is how they handle customers after the sale and what the reputation is in their respective industry. Neither standard does tiger mountian hold up to.
I would say if Sean at Tri Lab is comfortable breeding with a tiger mountian dog you can be confident in the breeding. Sean’s dogs are top notch. I am hunting over a pair of 10 year old labs of his that are still going strong.
As a side note the tiger mountian and sutter bay dogs tend to be taller leggy dogs and tri lab tend to be a little shorter and stockier dogs. I like the taller dogs for open field work and the overall look of the dog. I know looks are a secondary concern but the more info the better when you are finding your next hunting buddy.

Get involved with the APLA group their members have dogs from the mentioned kennels and litters are you can attend a training day and see what dogs come from where. Take your time and do your research and it will pay off.

I am a member of the Northwest Pointing Labrador Club. Here's a link to our facebook page. Lots of info there.
The next training day will be sometime in Feb. Usually they are monthly after that. We try to spread them around, so everyone can participate.

I'll have a litter of chocolates in March. It will be a second breeding. The first litter turned out really nice. All health clearances, and a guarantee.
@Old Dog do you have any pictures of the parents or a link to a website? Possibly looking to add another chocolate lab to our family. Currently have a four year old chocolate female.
