Title: Chocolate lab rescue
Post by: Black Ghost on August 24, 2011, 09:11:57 PM: Long story short, my friend has a 4 year old labrador that must be rehomed. There is no cost, just needs a good home. He had a situation where he got scared and bit a little girl. It was a freak occurance, he just reacted because he was scared ( he had been attacked by neighboring dogs just prior). I have his half brother, and he is awesome duck dog. A lot of natural instinct, needs someone to take him to the field. He is around 3 kids from 7-14 everyday, never had a situation since or before. The homeowners insurance insists the dog be rehomed or euthanized. He is way too good of a dog, and I am sure there is someone here that could use him to his potential. I am sure you won't be disappointed!!!! He is fully intact, could make a awesome breeder. You can pm me, email me, or call me. I will be happy to put you in contact with the pets owners. 360-943-7261 Criss
We have until Friday to find him a new home, sorry for the short notice. If you want him, you have to move quick. Thanx

Post by: Happy Gilmore on August 25, 2011, 10:35:02 AM: You have the sister? Who is the breeder? Has anyone contacted the breeder? Usually, the breeders will help re-home and take care of their dogs if they are responsible breeders. Cindy will always help with rescue/homing a dog as well as the Lab Rescue Associations.

Post by: Black Ghost on August 25, 2011, 05:36:56 PM: The breeder is out of Vancouver, I lost the contact information. But that might be a idea, if my friend still has the information? Hoping somebody on here still needs a good dog. I just got clarification from my friend, he is fixed and is only 3 years old. Thanx guys for the feedback, if nothing else I will pass along the contact for rockingmlabs. My friends are pretty tore about the deal, I know they really don't want to give him up. But one of those tough things, not really a decision when it comes to losing your homeowners insurance. Not like you don't pay them a ton of money over years, and years. When you make a claim, they make you pay dearly!

Very good point Happy Gilmore. A responsible breeder is responsible the entire life of the dog. The breeders name is listed on the registration certificate. I would suggest going that route prior to putting him down, and I'm glad he's fixed. I wouldn't suggest using him for breeding as it's best to breed away from any bad traits. I know this was a "freak" thing, but it's better to be safe when breeding than not.
