Extended forecast….

 
My little lab is going on 3 and I want to get another bird dog, might be last one since I am 65. I have really studied pedigrees and would want this guy to be the sire of my next lab.

 
I was talking to a lab guy the other day and he told me he has a Kellog Lab. He says someone from the original Kellog Kennel in S.Dak. is in Idaho(IIRC 😊) and raising labs.
 
I’m an hour from chamberlain, thx for the thought! I’ve now bought 3 labs from high caliber labs in Lennox…really like Andy Schoeberl, top notch!
Long time lurker, first time poster. Glad to see the praise for High Caliber Labs. We are picking up a yellow pup in NW Iowa in April sired by HCL's Trigger. The hope is to have her hunting in SD this Fall.

Mayo Kellog raised real Labs. His family raised labs in south dakota since the 1920s, Excellent dog man that had exceptional evaluation and communication skills, I never owned a Kellog dog but hunted with several, Never saw or heard of a bad one. Mayo forgot more about Labs then most guys will ever know. Mayo died about 20 years ago, If someone has those lines going in Idaho they're several generations downstream.

By “real” Labs, you mean Black Labs, right. :). My Sam dog was a Kellog dog.

Blacks & Yellows, some of the yellows were darker.They'd probably call them reds today. I don't recall any chocolates or silvers. I know this just started as a riff on Idaho but those were good dogs and I've had a couple guys ask what I saw there.They say all silver labs have Kellogg on the pedigree, I didn't see any Weimaraners
 
I’ve driven by Kellogg’s operation hundreds of times in Junius, SD; did stop in one time to visit about their dogs…Hugh was operating the kennel…probably 20 years ago…extremely strange interaction…3 of us thought so…Hugh was reluctant to offer much information, very circumspect…one of my buddies was interested in chocolates, I believe they had some, maybe a litter was pending? I’ve heard from more than one person that Kellogg was a puppy factory of sorts. Dunno, but I do know our interaction was very strange, left us skeptical at best. Not long thereafter the grounds were deteriorating even further, as it was a shambles when we were there. I suspect it’s been abandoned for a decade or more? I’ll be driving by again Thursday…interesting history. I believe there were good dogs being produced there at some point…at some point something changed.
 
Dog people that become breeders often become collectors. They want to keep a pup out of a certain breeding and or puppies don't sell so.....
Sooner or later you end up with a puppy mill.

I know Kellogs had white ,yellow , black,chocolate,and red labs. 50 to 120 pounds.


Many people claim the silvers naturally occurs but I like most am suspect as we would have seen them decades ago.
 
I might start breeding labs in various camo patterns, mossy oak, tree bark, etc. and corner the market.
I’m also developing a vaccine for HBC.
Number one is breeding dogs that live as long as their owners.
Lofty goals
