Mickey the Dam

Huntncoug's Blue the Sire hopefully

Just noticed Mickey is in heat and the timing is about perfect for pups.I have PMed Huntncoug the news as we have talked about breeding the the dogs before but I have not confirmed with him yet. I want both dogs looked at by a vet first and of coarse his blessing. I have homes for 2 pups now and would like to have homes for at least 2 or 3 more pups before I have her bread. Both dogs have good pedigrees but the pups will not be registered and an agreement that the pups will be fixed is part of the deal. I have always believed a dog should mature before being fixed but that doesn't need to be part of the deal. Mickey is an Indoor/outdoor family dog that loves everyone even cats and is very mellow. She was purchased for duck hunting. She retrieves, loves doing it but hasn't been formally trained and doesn't get to do it enough. She is very birdy, changes personality and is all business in the field. She also loves a fishing trip. First and foremost she is a constant companion. She goes to work with me almost everyday and spends a lot of time in my truck. I paid above average money for Mic because I wanted a quality, healthy dog.My hunting buddy owns her 3/4 brother Gunner. (same sire and dams sister)He has many of the same traits with a bit more energy. After hunting with that dog for the first hour of it's career with very little training I new I wanted a dog from the same lines and I wasn't disappointed. Although Gunner is a bit smaller(80ish) her Mom(over 90lbs) and dad(about 110) are big dogs and so is she. ( 90+) She has a big head, one of my favorite traits when I look for a lab and Its bigger than it appears in the pic. I am not looking for $$$ just good homes. Cost of the pups will cover shots dew claw removal for field dogs and normal vet bills incurred. If you really want a lab, have a good place for it and are low on funds talk to me. Don't BS me just talk to me. I am not doing this for money and know it will cost me more than what I get out of the pups. I don't want pups around without good homes. I do believe these are both very good dogs. Mickey's parents were Chocolate and Yellow. Any ?s please ask. I will ask Huntncoug to post about Blue here Too. If things go as planned the pups should be heading to their new homes about May 22nd.

Puppies are a lot of work, be careful. We had lab puppies and 11 came out and they all survived. Chinook was a good mom but all she did was feed and lay with the pups, she didn't clean the poop up. About every 10 mins one will poop and then they all will roll in it if you don't clean it up asap. Then they cry at night once they get used to you being around I was ready to pull my hair out by week 8. Good Luck

Its my first Lab litter but I have done 5 litters of Viszlas. Don't think I am not a bit hesitant to do this. If I don't have homes for 4 or 5 first It probably wont happen.
Lots of ceder chips and a 2 room whelping box once mom stops cleaning them.
This will be my last litter ever if it happens.

My last dam had 2 litters of pups. Yes, they're quite a handfull, but very rewarding after the fact. We had them registered, OFA certified hips, and eyes too.

There's a great eye doc in spokane who will check them all out (Animal Eye Clinic). If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Maybe Francis would check the parents eyes out? LOL Just a joke.

Very, very tempting. I'm thinking about it. It is great that you are mainly looking to breed good dogs and find good homes for them.

Kaiser is 12 years old, with the enthusiasm of a 2 year old and hips of a 20 year old.

I made plans with Achewter and it sounds like we are going to do it. My dog Blue, the Sire, is a great hunting dog, his dad is a Tiger Mountain Pointing lab and his mom is from a pointing lab breeder in Kansas. He is registered but I never recieved the paper work from his breeder and I lost his phone number. He will point any upland bird that will hold and will retrieve anything you shoot. He is 105lbs (no fat) and a very good looking dog. He is the most layed back, easy going lab you will ever see, great with kids, and other dogs.

Oh BTW, Blue is the Black one in the pics.

I have a lot more pics on my desktop, I will look them up later.

Very interested.
Can you predict colors that will be thrown?
Any health issues in the genes? hips?
My yellow is 12 and I have to start thinking of the future.

I think predicting colors is like predicting the weather. My litter was from 2 blacks and we got 3 yellows, 3 browns, and 5 blacks.

If there are no chocolates's in there lineage you will prob get 3 blacks to 1 yellow

If there is chocolate Its 60% Bl 25% Y 15% CH

Or if only one black has the yellow gene you would get all blacks

Thats just a start.

It's a crapshoot !!!!!

Beautiful dogs! Good luck finding them homes.

Captain
