    Looking for a black lab puppy.Not paying more than 500.

    Have you ever attended a HT or FT, or hunted over a MH, UHR, or a FC/AFC? If you haven't I suggest you do, I'm pretty sure you will be amazed. I'm not saying a you can't have a nice dog with out titles, and just solid obedience. Heck I had a few when I was younger, but then I wanted more. I...

    Looking for a black lab puppy.Not paying more than 500.

    Huh? OP says he will not pay over $500. $700 is a 40% increase, I get it that $200 is peanuts in the whole scheme of things but if you are cheap..... You're cheap. I just don't want someone to buy the next great deal and end up with a 12-14 year commitment to heart ache, or some monster...

    There is probably a reason why this pup is priced the way it is.. Buyer beware

    Not really, litters that command this kind of price tag usually have a BIG waiting list.

    Rates of guides

    Many outfitters and guides choose to carry to finish off cripples. Take out a group of Atlanta bankers (New York lawyers might be worse) wearing brand new Filson gear, and carrying brand new Berettas that Fed x delivered to the lodge the day before... You will know what I mean. Given the...

    Rates of guides

    I have guided waterfowl hunts a few times, but mostly upland, the majority of the upland hunts have been preserve hunts. The rates are so different depending on the services provided that its impossible to answer your question. Generally speaking as the boots on the ground guide your income is...

    Porcupines On The Prairies

    I used to see quite a few in NE Montana, but rarely in central SD (maybe never?) and occasionally north of devils lake. I wouldn't worry about it to much, but I'm sure there is always a risk in both states. Skunks have always been my nemesis in any state.

    At what point do you retire your dog?

    I don't know what you should do, but here is what I'm doing since I'm in a similar spot. Dutch my 12.5 year old that is still very healthy for his age, he cannot handle heat and doesn't have the stamina that he used to but I plan to hunt him this fall. He will hunt duck opener on a small pond...

    Hunting 2 dogs

    I didn't figure that would need to be said. Maybe I expect to much.

    AKC lab puppies

    Thanks but I have all the dogs than I need right now. I was just trying to help you get the information out. Hunting Lab Pedigree is fantastic, links to OFA, CERF, Paw Prints etc. Add a link or find someone to help. Screenshots suck... Unless you have something to hide and I'm not saying you do.

    AKC lab puppies

    Might work better if you post a link to Hunting Lab Pedigree's. Your screenshot is impossible to read, at least it is for me.

    Training with a second dog

    I'm not sure I understand the question. If its how do I train 2 dogs, simple run your drill with dog 1, put him up and repeat with dog 2. If its how do I train the 2 dogs to hunt together. I always train them independently so they understand and have the necessary skill set, and then hunt them...

    Looking for gryphon breeder

    If you are looking for a Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, (I don't know what a Gryphon Pointer is). Get a hold of Joe Mix, he is from Grand Rapids MN and breeds some really nice field dogs. I know he just had a litter go home a few weeks ago so timing might not be good.

    Eye Protection for your dog

    Rex Specs work terrific I don't use them often, pretty much only when the weed seeds are crazy bad. The cool lenses are $10 more. Pretty much a waste of money but the dog looks bad ass.

    Pheasant and/or ducks?

    My Labradors are equally at home in a layout blind in Saskatchewan, flooded timber in Arkansas, or a duck slew in the Dakotas. But their (our) true love is upland hunting. They also love competing in FT's, competition hunts, and HT's

    Ruffland Kennels

    The intermediate should be perfect. Not to throw a monkey wrench in the works, give the Dakota 283 kennel a look. Its a really nice crate that bridges the gap between the Ruffland and the gunner.
