Call Habs for breeder listing on labs. The breeders all know who has litters presently or on the way.

I'd check some of your local animal rescue leagues and give a good deserving dog a home. My sister picked up a black lab mix several years ago from the Sterling Animal Rescue League and the dog is fantastic. It's been a great family dog.

reason i asked is because....a lab mix
or a hunting dog breed kinda is mental without
some kind of hobby / purpose and i've found
that if you make fetching a ball or 6-8 inch
rubber ring.... a daily thing.....
it's easy to both exercise them
and keep them happy... |

the other is one inch wide (opposite side)
for stuffing it with
doggy beef jerky pieces - 1 inch wide
let dog smell tennis ball full of jerky on rope
then feed doggy pieces of jerky
til it wants ball , (play keep away)
then throw ball and reel in pup
feed pup jerky when she gets to you each time
with ball ...saying (emphasizing the word) "what"
"what a good dog..."

I have a lab that we raised for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. She failed the last part of the traiing when she went back to New York. So we gladly took her back after raising her for 1 1/2 years we realllly wanted her. We also have a border collee that we adopted from my daughters animal shelter in Bangor Maine.
There is a great website for shelter animals called Petfinder.com. Try it the shelter dogs are the best and I will put any of the four I have had in my lifetime up against any and I mean any other dog.
Good luck with your search.

Get one from a shelter,any shelter.
I grew up with mutts from Angel Memorial/MSPCA.
Every last one of them.
Do you want a hunting dog?
The trendiest; most popular dog to have?
(English Bulldogs right now.)
$1600 to start. From a breeder.
Or just a family pet?
Mutts usually have much better personalities than purebreds.

Here is my take on dogs.
I LOVE Boxers, and have spent big $ on the ones I have had. pure bread, champion blood lines ect...
But for the most part, pure bread dogs live shorter lives, why I have no Idea, but they do end up getting things like cancer, heart problems ect...
more than mutts!
Getting a mutt from a pound can be a crap shoot !
Lots of times, you get a great dog that is great with kids/people, lives a long healthy life,ect...
but lots of dogs who end up in pounds have been neglected, abused and beaten by previous owners and could end up being problems with things like biting people !
Hope you find a good one Don !

Yeah.. my buddy's Lab.. shed factory.. I thought it was something with the Golden.. (Long Hair).. but, I think the Lab produces more!\
On a side note.. anybody uses Golden hair on bucktails.. I'm eyeing her "feathers" right now!
Keep Size of dog in mind too Don... those pics of Bailey as a puppy... she wa about 11 pounds.. full grown.. she's right about 70-75....

I'm on my second golden, 9 years old. If this dog wasn't so close to my wife I would have trained her to be a tracker. Every time she goes out the door her nose is to the ground. If you don't pay enough attention to her she sits and talks to you until she gets you to pat her.
I would spend some time and look into a pedigree Don. I know the pounds have lots of dog looking for a friend but even if you find a lab in the pound you just never know about the breeding. Go somewhere that you can see the parents and a whole litter. Make your pick and be happy.
