Well, the time has come!!!!!! Leaving later than I should to hopefully pick up a new pup. Nervous, "NAWSHUSH" and making a major decision here. I say I can walk away if one does not work out but ohhhhhhhhh, I will see those pups and want em all. Thanks to EVERYONE for all the good comments. I promise to return them all. :p:

LOL I got the scariest one in the bunch. #2. Her eyes are what scared me but after being with her in person, she was #1 to me! No fear, great temperment, playful and not overbearing...YET! She cries for food, water, and when she has to go potty as I call it. I try not to say it too loud outside...hee hee
I promise I will post pics later today. She gets along really well with the other 2 and they are great, surprisingly. They seem to be mellow when she is out of her crate which is when she is not sleeping. The two dogs live with my boyfriend and Bella lives with me. I think she has gotten attached to the others already. She has only been in my home for an hour or so and she has been sleeping so I can only hope all will work out.

HAHA! That's the one I was gonna tell you to get, but no one else actually told you what they thought so I didn't, but I'm glad. She was my favorite too. :D

REALLYYYYY????? She was honestly my least favorite, going by pic of course. But pics are not everything. I am surprised. She was your fav? Why?
We did tests on ALL 3 dogs. They all passed with the exception of one, #4 who I will say had the looks but was extremely independent and did not play as much with the other pups. Plus when we threw the ball, she approached it, but was hesitant. A little timid. BTW, IT TOOK ME 2 1/2 HRS TO PICK HER. My boyfriend helped me out very much and without him, I might have made the wrong decision. She did appear interested in me many times, following me and I even started to second guess myself but Knew deep down (womans intuition) I made the right choice. The breeder agreed and my boyfriend so I kept my promise to her. I talked to her....sound goofy I know....she was going to be my "Bella."As soon as she is ready (after all the shots) we are going out and socializing the world. I am going to train her to be a therapy dog and I hope she will be ready for that. She will be my life for a long time! More later......oh, btw, did I mention...I am soooooooo tired!!!!

I absolutely loved her body and her posture. I liked number 1 until I looked at the body in the picture. They all had great faces, but she just had more of the package...I love love love their coloring, she and Maximus have the most gorgeous coloring. Are both their parents white labs?

Amber,

Yes, both are yellow. Maximus takes after his father in color who is CORHAMPTONS BARLEY O BRADY (now retired). His mother Trace is very white. Kiddo, the mother of my bella who recently passed was the whitest of the bunch but Bella seems to have same coloring as Maximus but her feet look dirty a little b/c of her father.....color color color....lol......:)
