Looking for a pup

[duckduckgoose906]

hey all,

 

Moved into a new home and I finally have a ton of room for a pup. I’m really looking for a black lab that I can get into the water with me. Figured I’d make a post and see if maybe someone is having pups or knew anyone.

 

Thanks for reading

My buddy has a litter of high quality yellow & irish red labs if you don't find any black you like

Check out St Hubert's - they have a place in Bridgewater and one near Morristown.

Good Luck.  Take you time with it and get a dog with good bloodlines for hunting/FTC/hunt.  It'll be worth it in the long run.  I bought my first hunting lab this year and it has made training so much easier for me because she has delivered to hand and wanted to retrieve from the time she was 6 weeks old.  I researched several breeders in my search and looked at Red Lion Kennels, Churn Creek Retrievers, Duck Hill kennels, Wildrose Kennels.  There are so many.  I have friends who have bought several from Duckhill Kennels and will only buy from there.  Expect to pay 1,500 to 2,500 from these breeders.  

 

I'd be careful with backyard breeders unless you know they have a history of producing quality hunting dogs and have the bloodlines.

A lab is hard to beat they are very smart and very devoted.

Landed up looking into st Hubert’s after you mentioned them. I had gotten a great house dog from them about ten years ago...anyway turns out they had one lab pup 9weeks old . Went over and played with the pup for awhile and landed up leaving with her... meet Dixie

that is awesome.  For you, for the pup, and for NJWW... Great recommendation by Madeinuk!!!!  

 

Good luck to you and Dixie, I bet she makes a great pet, and if you can train her to hunt/retrieve -that's just a bonus.

Thanks guys. Extremely excited on my new best friend. Ordered the ten minute retriever book. I feel like it will be a good start for me and the pup
