Well, let me explain alittle...This first part of the year we have been very tight on money. We decided this year we would not spend more than 40 on each other for anniv. Well I went and got her something and lastnight she went and got me an AKC Black Lab six weeks old, shots, the whole nine yards. So now my 40 bucks seems like little to no thought involved when compared to the new pup. She said she has been working with this breeder for some time now and has seen the parents in action in the field. I can't wait for the time to start training.
