Cool it's an exciting time for your family! I don't have papers on either of mine. I allways seem to get someone who wants to get rid of one and I stumble into it ... If I don't plan to breed then to me papers are not a concern.  :)

My chocolate lab has papers but I had her fixed so the papers are not really worth anything. She is 4 and now has bad hips, both parents were certified.

It sounds like she will be a great addition to your family I say bring her home.

Got our papered Chocolate for $100.00 ( from Friends ) and it was the best 100 we've ever spent on hunting expenses. Just because you don't spend 5 or 6 hundred does not mean you won't have a good dog. I would check papers if they are available and ask about bad health in thier lines. The last thing you want is to have a dog with bad hips or worse in a year or so after you're well attached. So I would say do it!

AKC Papers/Pedigrees don't show any history of health. A reputable breeder will however have the OFA(hips and elbow) CERF(eyes) and EIC(exercise induced collapse)(Labs) results from the parents.(BOTH PARENTS VERY IMPORTANT) You are right, you can get a great dog without papers, not arguing that at all. All the dogs I had growing up didn't have papers. I have one now how has papers and isn't worth a crap unless she decides she is going to work when she wants to work. Trainability is also a trait that can be assessed by seeing both parents on site and with a reputable breeder....But, getting a dog from a friend or family and you know something about them and their dogs is the best way to go!

If you go with a truly good breeder who has had more than one or two litters from the same Sire and Dam you can be fairly confident you won't have problems a few years down the road......

Lastly, if you are going to pay a few hundred bucks, GET A CONTRACT IN WRITING! they are legally binding in WA. under livestock laws. Also get a bill of sale. If you have problems down the road it will save you a lot of grief. just my rant of advice.....Happy.

She is a she... Hazel is the name they gave her, I think it may stick.

I have driven through "Hazel" Wyoming once.  It was a small town that had a couple of shops that sold knitted pot holders, doilies and denture cream.  Nice place though. :chuckle:

Congrats on a great looking pup, looks like you'll have a great hunting buddy.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Looks like a great life for that pup with the kids, great picture. Spend the time now with her to form that bond that will last a lifetime. There is no way to train the bond that can be made with a pup. Good luck.

I have two labs a black and yellow and they are the best dogs.  My one year old can do whatever he wants to them and they seem to love it.  Labs are the best family dogs around in my opinion.  Congrats to you and your family you will love her... after she stops chewin all your stuff :)
