That's a nice looking black dog ! Brings back fond memories. He/she will make a fine fishin' dog.
Name ?
Edit: Taken from his novel, Chesapeake, about the arrival of a new breed of dog to the Maryland Marshes to challenge the reign of the Chesapeake Bay retriever as a consummate retriever.
"A moment later the stevedore appeared on deck leading by a leash one of the most handsome dogs ever seen in Maryland. He was jet-black, sturdy in his front quarters, sleek and powerful in his hind, with a face so intelligent that it seemed he might speak at any moment. His movements were quick, his dark eyes following every development nearby, yet his disposition appeared so equable he seemed always about to smile.
"'He's called a Labrador,' Lightfoot said. 'Finest huntin' dog ever developed'"
I've been adopted by both breeds and I love them both. Michener desribes them well in "The Watermen".

Good name. Has a nice ring to it on low, medium and high volume. Hopefully, not too much volume will be needed

I agree Kenna is a fine loking pup. Tye has done very well so far tonight. He's curious about everything and seems to be adjusting to life without his big family very well. Maybe we can do a reunion soon.

Forgot to mention, have plenty of cork grips available for teething purposes, preferably grade AAAA . Also, soft reel handles are a big favorite.

Took Tye on a long walk thru the woods. I swear he was hunting. No pointing, but sure interested in everything. He seems very trainable. Hes a sucker for doggie treats. He retrieved a toy to hand last night three times.

Dave, If you need any training DVD's, let me know, I think I've got a couple in the collection... Set upa small, narrow corridor, like a hallway, where you can toss a small toy, and have a short retrieve where he can't run off in the wrong direction or get past you. Slowly work the distance, and remove the side barriers... and you're good to go, Moose was retrieving to hand at 8 weeks, and brought a dead bandtail pigeon to me at just over 9 weeks... Oh, now is a good time to start them out on strange surfaces also, like grating, elevated heights, etc., and play with their paws a lot. Gets them used to checking their paws, and also used to walking on all surfaces.

another beatin and abused dog with no joy in it's life. Radar is asleep in Drakes bed rite now but when he wakes up we plan on being real mean to him. So glad none of the dogs from this litter are being spoiled.

kenna's doing great, too. she's adjusted to the crate well for all her naps, but has spent the night in bed with us. think that she'll be in the crate tonight. the potty thing is really going well, she'll get up and head to the back door if she needs to go. fetching is pretty good, had a couple come back to hand. she's a nippy thing, though! likes to nibble on the whole family. Compared to when Kaiser was a puppy, Boris is much more affectionate, confidant, and observant. I think most of those traits are strongly related to the wonderful environment Art provided during the first 2 months of life. I really can't thank you enough, Art. i couldn't agree more. the exposure and attention art and the kids have given her has made kenna the pup she is. she's bold, confident and certainly responsive to our family. thanks, art! willy

Tye just spent the afternoon playing grab ass with a seven month old Wheaton terrier. Tye is considerably better behaved. I THINK he is housebroken. No accidents in more than a day. He goes out to the yard to poop, but will pee in the house if not taken out enough times a day. I 'm guessing 100% reliable soon. He hated the crate at first but now loves it and whimpers less than a minute at most. He really didn’t like going in the car in the crate. The trip to the vet was an ear splitter. So I began driving him about 200 yards then fed him. Now he begs to get in the car. He eats like a piranha. Yep, Art did a magnificent job, and good parents help too. Tye will retrieve a tennis ball about four times before losing g interest, but I think that’s great for a pup of less than nine weeks. Tye After a Hard Day of Playing Grab Ass

Beware of flees. Found 2 on Radar today. Stopped and picked up a puppy treatment and when I got home and read the box it said not before 12 weeks. Will have to find something else. Hope he didn't get them here but it wouldn't surprise me. He has gotten around over the weekend and has been scratching a bit so keep an eye out. Scratch around your pups belly about an inch into the hair line and watch to see if any run out onto his bear belly. With the mild winter it's sure to be bad this year... Keep a close eye on it this summer...Art

Also a bad year for ticks. Usualy not a problem for labs but I suppose puppies coats might not be too thick for them.
I picked two out of Sage a couple of weeks ago. First time ever I've seen them on the westside.
Again great looking pups. Can't wait to meet a few of them along a river bank soon!
