That sounds like a money litter, Dogfish. Love chocolate labs. Please PM details when convenient.

Thanks for the tips, Cedar. I saw that site, too, and I have ruled out nothing. The only thing about an older dog is knowing no matter what, that dog won't be around for long. I agree that it would be very satisfying to "rescue" an older animal and have a chance to right some wrongs, but I got a wife and kids to make happy here, and I hate to think of losing a good dog in just a few years. Rescued puppy is not off the table, by any means.

We're off to a great start, folks. I already knew this place was better than the rest of the Internet combined for news and sports, but for pet matching? Color me impressed, once again.
