Title: Looking for female yellow or black lab.
Post by: jordano on July 27, 2011, 03:20:15 PM: Hello everyone!

I am looking for a good breeder or kennel to find some good yellow or black labs. I would definitely prefer a female over a male. I live in East Wenatchee so anything an hour or so from there would be great. Thank you for any info!

Post by: Happy Gilmore on July 27, 2011, 11:48:31 PM: I've never heard of the others mentioned so, I can't comment. Ryan at Long Hollow has great dogs, Lee at WindRiver has great dogs etc. Consider a dog who is already started. Started means the dog has been forced fetched, basic obedience, been introduced to birds and ready to hunt. This is a great way to spend a little more money and ensure you'll be happy with the end result. Starting a pup isn't always easy but, spend about twice as much up front with a reputable breeder/trainer and you'll save many, many headaches and have a hunting buddy that will be rock solid for many years. Getting a dog from Ryan or Lee will be a great investment for a hunting buddy and a family pet which you'll never regret. The extra money spent on started dogs saves you much time and experiementing with your own abilities to train a dog to do what you'll get out of the box from a proven, excellent trainer...

just my two pennies...

Post by: Ireland Farms on August 02, 2011, 12:57:35 PM: I have a couple litters due this month that will produce blacks and yellows. Our stud Ben has produced some nice hunting dogs. I also would recommend Lee at Wind River.

Good luck,

Warren

I would have bought her in a second if I could have. Not to mention it's here in washington. I spoke with Eric the breeder of this pup and he seems like a great guy, also and more importantly, he also seems to know what he is doing and talking about when it comes to Labs and their training. If i had the Money i would jump on this. Trust me it is worth spending the cash up front. If you need a reference to this just search the old threads about my dog Boone. The pain i went through with him may have been avoided had I went with a knowledgeable and responsible breeder. here is the link
