How do you find a quality dog breeder?

[Cuerno Largo]

As a matter of fact, the main reason people hate the Chinese is because they created the pekingese breed.

That is because they were bred to be eaten.

I would rather eat one than live with one, seriously.

That's not what he asked.

and you always stay on point.

 

[Zimm]

if you require "behaved" (i read that as calm), id look into an older rescue.

People don't ask for your comments, but you still see the need to open your mouth and s*** all over a thread.

You are going to do what you want zack, but please consider a rescue. There is probably a lab rescue in your area or try craigslist.

Zack, what you want is a cat.

I figured as much. It does have that Thanksgiving kind of light.

It does look like a combine ran through it, though. That's probably all stuff that Kane chewed up sitting around him.

Sensitive much, Nancy?

Check the genetics very carefully. Poorly bred labs can have a ton of health problems. Check out hunting forums (even though you do not want a hunting dog.) They always have discussions about genetic problems in certain lines. There are also some very knowledgable lab guys here on Mud. I ran a litter by Fly Rod a couple of years ago before my buddy bought a dog to see what he thought. Don't get hung up on what coat color you want. Find a good litter and get whatever color you can.


And guys quit bagging on wobster for posting pics of his pooch. I want to see more pics.

I can't believe that no one has suggested that Zack check out Beast Forums for suggestions. There are lots of dog breeders on that site.

Lol....there does seem to be a lot of discussion regarding breeding over there.

You forgot to add that they shed a lot.

Oh, and it could be worse. I have a six year old weim who's still a fxxxing spaz.

how bout a half lab/weim...

Welcome to my world

I "adopted" her from the local Lab rescue place. She was a mistake when the gate was left open and the Montagues and the Capulets got to play together
BTW, the Adoption was ~$300.

That's a good looking male in that last picture.

 

[Mace]

He showed up on our doorstep one day. We put up signs, called the pound, talked to local vets.. Nothin. Perfect black lab that apparently nobody wanted..

He is amazingly sweet and would have made a great hunting dog.. But he hates car rides, gives him the shakes..

Are you going to be okay? Do you need an inhaler or anything?

Probably just a tampon would do.
