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

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... |

two
ya take a pup that size ,,,,ok
you thread a closeline rope threw a tennis ball
with two razor blade slits in it...
one is 1/4 inch wide for knotted rope
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..."
repeat until rope isnt needed....anymore
