Starting to look for a new pup. Had a male chocolate lab before. He was a good dog. Not a great hunter, but that could be more on his owner. He was pretty hyper, almost too social. But great with kids and not an aggressive bone in his body. Rarely barked. Thinking about a yellow lab this time. Leaning toward a female, but not 100%. I like the more yellow/white color. I will not pay anything more than about $500. I know the old "you get what you pay for" adage, but it's not happening. Wife would kill me if I paid more than that! I don't care about breeding rights or papers. Never had them on my last dog. Anyone know of any litters that would be ready early to mid-April? Later is fine too. Located in West Fargo, but I'll travel if needed. Certainly would like some hunting background. I've looked at a couple of the kennels listed on some of the previous threads. Most are too spendy. Have also been checking bisman.
