I'd like to be considered in the loop also. After losing my old lab last fall...late spring might be the right time for a new member of the family. Nice looking "stock" that you're contemplating crossing. I've raised pups before, and always wanted to make sure they went to better than average homes, so I totally respect what you're trying to do. I live in the country, on several acres, and the pup would probably be a "truck dog" with me on a daily basis. Thanks, Kyle
