Chocolate Lab Breeding

[mallards32]

Looking to stud my chocolate lab in the lake charles area. My uncle gave me this dog a couple years ago and his female unfortunately just passed away last week. So I am looking to get him a dog from this blood line so I will be giving him the pick of the litter. He does not have papers due to my uncle being lazy back in 98' with another dog but is full blood chocolate and is a machine. Pic was taken last year for teal season and since he has filled out quite a bit. Does not matter to me if the female is chocolate or not but would prefer a good hunting history. Please PM if interested.

Be careful calling him a "machine", some people don't like dogs that are "robots" on here

Don't mean it like he is a robot. He is a meat dog. I don't do dog trials or anything I just want my dog to pick up ducks and be obedient. What I meant was he is just a very strong dog that has a LOT of energy and is big. He was weighed at his 1 year check up and was 98 lbs. I think he will probly be closer to 120 - 130 lbs now.

Holy cow. He is twice the size of most labs.

So how old is this dog?

Was it born in 98?

He would be 14?

Well the papers my uncle screwed up in 98' were from this dog's great grandparents. He was born 6/2010.

OFA #, EIC, CNM, thyroid?? Good choco dogs are hard to find with clearances.

I would be mad like a hornet if my lab weighed 130 pounds!

Why would you be mad? I like the fact that he is big. He can get through anything (marsh, rice field) faster than a small lab. And when he retrieves a goose he doesn't have any trouble. He could probably retrieve my deer if i taught him to. I think the only downside is that they tend to not live as long when they are bigger but i have seen a big lab live 10 years. It always has baffled me the way people in this area always want small labs. What's the advantage?

What's the advantage of a HUGE lab? I guess if it will drag deer to the truck that's an advantage but I've never seen one do dat. A normal sized 75-80lb male lab can do all your fat dawg can do AND run circles around it. Not to mention, I ain't puttin a man sized dog in my pirogue with me. I have seen 55lb female labs fetch geese all day long.

Probly not an ounce of fat on my "dawg" but thanks. This is the exact reason I hate posting on this site. All the people starting **** and stealing a post. I was just trying to do my uncle a favor since he did one for me by giving me my dog. I was just saying i don't understand the advantage of a small dog. I guess if i used a pirogue that would be an advantage but i don't. And there are very few dogs that can run circles around him. He's a freak of nature i guess. Hardest part about hunting him sometimes is slowing him down.

I think that he is trying to say that the result of breeding dogs that are unregistered and not even close to the breed standards are usually neglected dogs tied to a tree in someones back yard living in a mud hole. You may be able to place a couple of these pups in responsible homes but most responsible people looking to purchase a labrador want registered dogs with health clearances.
