    Officially Unofficial Puppy

    After two years of looking for a bred to standard Labrador litter with proven parents (siblings and offspring, too) bred by a breeder who has produced and placed many OTCh, MH, MACH dogs, I have finally found what I am looking for!

    The bitch is a MH12, bred to standard, with some lower level obedience titles and most of her siblings are the same, plus lots of really talented kids out there. The sire is a CH, MH, UDX, halfway to his OTCh at five years old. He is owner trained and handled and at least for obedience (not sure about his MH) he was trained and trialed using +R techniques.

    The puppies should be healthy, bred to standard and potentially breed ring material, driven, biddable, stable with a great off-switch. There are approximately nine puppies in there, due in a week or so. And, then we wait to make sure there is a good fit for me. They will be raised and evaluated through the Avidog program. I am hopeful that all goes well during the whelp and that there are nine happy, healthy, yellow performance puppies as a result! My first choice is a girl, but will take either sex based on fit.

    I haven't told the boys yet. Sam is going to be beside himself. Linus is not going to be happy. And I'm getting the cat a taller cat perch as she's never had to deal with a puppy! I've also gone "all-in" and traded in my Outback with TransK9 for a mini-van with Stow & Go seats and three XL RTKs!

    “Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”

    Wow, you are really committed to this, to already have bought a bigger vehicle. The litter sounds really promising, good luck with a new girly pup for you.
