While I know this may be a contentious request, perhaps it will fly and I've been struggling for some time so tho't I'd risk it... Please, private messages are welcome/requested!
You may have read my other thread and know we're a family on the verge of getting a lab puppy. We're struggling with whom to contact, hoping for direction from you all. There are so many..!
We are looking for a litter born in early November. We figure the planning is probably starting now. I am retired but still working part time until Jan 2019, so don't want to get a puppy until I'm available 100% of the time. Obedience training needs consistency and time. I'll be up for that come January.
We are looking for a family member, I don't hunt. But, we are very active, hiking, fishing, outdoors every chance we get. A 'Field' lab is preferred and a Yellow male is also what we're looking for. We are in Oregon - so BC Canada south to northern California works best for us.
So, can we get your recommendations for breeders to contact? You guys are more plugged in that we are!
Thanks, Mark
