Hey Guys... I am interested in getting a Chocolate Lab mostly as a family dog, but I also wanted to teach him to do some Blood trailing on Deer... I know this may not be the best dog for that, but I had a black lab when I was growing up and just enjoy that kinda dog... Anyone ever try this or know someone that did... Also does anyone know of a good breeder, I have talked to a few breeders around here, and am going to look at a pup this weekend... Seems to have good bloodlines, and the parents health is certifed, Dad has Master hunting something or another... Dunno much about it, Any input would be great...

O by the way I am in MD, but willing to travel a little... I am driving up to WV this weekend... Thanks...

check the parents tempermant,i wish i did . i have a choc. lab ,hes english bred and very large . dont get me wrong hes a great dog ,but he is wound tighter then an 8 day clock . he runs through the house like a bear with his a-- on fireeverybody says he will melow with age , well he just turned four .mabey slightly slower then the puppy stage !

These people treated me very well when I purchase my Lab 2 years ago...
