lab breeder
Looking to buy a lab pup in the next few months. Anyone have any recommendations on a good breeder? I'm looking for an English lab

Why an English lab?

I agree, WHY an English? English make great show dogs. I have trained a few English bred labs, for the most part they lack the drive of a well bred lab. By well bred, with good FC, AFC, NFC, NAFC, or similar ancestors. And before the flak starts,,,, I can take any Field Trial washout and make an excellent duck dog, can't take a great duck dog and pass a field trial.

I really just prefer the look of them. My first lab was an English lab that I got from a family friend and hes been a great dog

I don't know of any English breeders. If you wanted some American Field lines, I could point you in a few directions depending on price.

Price range?

really not sure what I should expect with price range. I probably don't want to pay more than1000-1200 but I haven't bought a lab in a while so I'm not exactly sure what a dog with a good pedigree is going for right now

Based on your price range I would look in the 700-800 range. You can get a puppy from a sire and dam with a heavy titled pedigree for that price.

best place to get one?

Check those two links I posted. There are a lot of quality dogs on there and the risk of puppy mill or back yard type breeding is slim to none. For that price you should have health certificates on hips, eyes and elbows. Don't limit yourself geographically, good breeders will work out delivery logistics.

I didn't know much about English labs, had to google them, didn't realize there was such a difference in build.
When I was younger we had a chocolate from Gatorpoint Kennels, he had a very distinct English appearance. They might be worth looking into if your wanting the English type look. Good Luck |

http://www.retrievertraining.net/ Both sites are a very good starting point. Find a litter from two parents that you like from a reputable breeder with health clearances. Let the Breeder pick the puppy for you. |

Don't think so.
You can ask anyone that does field trial. Bet the know him. Robert Authement. If you want his number I can send it to you.
