    You are still going to have to spend a tidy sum to have your boy tested for all things necessary, spend some more to train him properly and prove he is worthy of breeding. Great dogs in a pedigree do not automatically make a dog one that will be sought after for breeding nor does it mean they need to or should be bred. You need to find yourself a knowledgeable mentor, join a club and get started in the world of Labradors so you can understand and learn what is important. There are far too many people that just throw 2 dogs together thinking they know what they are doing, they don't. Unfortunately they do so much harm to our beloved breed, it is very sad. Responsible, reputable breeders rarely see a profit from breeding. They do it for the love of the breed and to improve things for the future. If that is not what your main goal is please leave it in the hands and hearts of those who do it the right way.

    He looks just like our "house lab" LeeRoy Brown... who also sleeps on his back with his feet in the air. Must be a chocolate thing.

    You'll find some good people at those UKC events. Cozy up to them and offer to throw ducks for their dogs and you'll get a bunch of good tips.

    I agree with what the others have said about breeding - it’s a lot of money and work to do it right, and you still never know how it is going to work out. For example, we bred Chloe last year - she was carrying 5 pups, never went into labor and needed an emergency c-section. We lost 3 of the 5 pups. Even if we had sold one of the two remaining (which we didn’t although the plan was originally to only keep one), we would have most definitely been operating in the red on that whole thing, and that’s not even counting the costs of getting her clearances done, stud fee, progesterone testing, and putting Obedience titles on her ... just the costs of the actual pregnancy. Plus, there’s a chance we could have lost her as well.

    All that said, he is a handsome boy!

    Black is the dominant gene. A black dam with no yellow gene will produce all black pups. A dam with a yellow factor will (the odds say) 50% black and 50% yellow.
