    A bit of a sad day

    I got an email from Sophie's breeders today. The last puppy from their final litter goes home to his new family tomorrow. I think the Labrador world is a better place for their contributions over the past 40 plus years. The end of a era. All I can say to them is thank you for putting their faith in a young man and trusting me to have one of their dogs. It put me on a course of a life long love of these wonderful dog that we all love so much!!!

    I understand .... I was sad too when the woman who bred Scully, Mulder, and Chloe’s mom retired from breeding.

    Knowing Melody's breeder was years older than I when she joined our family, it will be a sad day when I hear she is no longer active in the breed. Can appreciate how you feel. You are truly blessed to have found them.
