Basser, check with Capt. Dan over on the other BB. He is an excellent source for info on who and when folks have pups available. I am told that he and his wife "rescue" labs and from time to time you can get one for the cost of shots and a little donation of dogfood. I believe this to be true and it would be a shame not to give it a "looksee" for a family on a budget and pups and hunters needing a good home. It's how I see it anyway. Good Luck.
