nwalker Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I am currentley researching chocolate lab breeders in the central Alberta area. I'm not really looking for a show dog, just a good tempered fishing partner. Does anyone have any experience or advice? Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Good timing, just got this from a local guy in calgary yesterday, just had a litter of purebred labs (chocolate and black). parents are hunting labs. Pups born December 31 and Jan 1 Call Tony Cassar more info on the Dam and Sire. (h) 274-7221 © 860-5102 Quote
Gary Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 good natured...yep thats a chocolate lab/ fishing dog....welll...depends on who gets to the water first but they are fun to be with once they calm down Mine was a real handful when he was younger...at times still is but he is a great partner.

nwalker Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks Brent. I have been in contact with Tony and may be coming down to Calgary this weekend. Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I'd have to say labs are better tempered then most other dogs. When we had our lab, she was awesome for fishing and camping, just as long as she could be your side she was happy. Our retriever (while he is quite younger...lots of time to mature) is fine for a couple of hours, but then starts dropping sticks upstream, so they float and hit you in the leg..or he starts to whine for attention.... Lotsa time for him to get ol and better tempered though, specially now that we got the best of both worlds as well (lab retriever mix) Quote
