Found a yellow lab in Portland Maine from a guy whos dog just had a litter. He is 91 years old and cannot take care of that many dogs. It is the last one to go from the litter of 7 I am picking him up today, I still have not thought of a name though. Rosco keeps coming back to me but who knows.


Thanks everyone who gave me advice!

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

Maybe you could nab the mom dog and get her spayed before the 91 year old who cannot take care of dogs lets her have another litter??

your dog "has to" retrieve

so if your not a duck hunter or pheasant shooter

at least train him to fetch a tennis ball !!!

because when holding it and making eye contact

with your dog.... it becomes easier to train him

to do what ever else....you want to teach him

Best of luck with your new buddy!

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

This is life with a Lab. Twice a day every day we have to run the Swiffer across the floor or we'll be swimming in doghair. Other than that they are great dogs but definitely need a job like others have said. Good Luck.
