Where to get White Lab
 
Looking to get a white lab. Anyone here raise them or know where i can get one?

Jordan 06-22-2010 04:36 PM

thye had a few for sale on LAS the other day..... they were "silver" ???

adamsfence 06-22-2010 04:46 PM

search the internet that is how i found both my dogs

Big Kahunaz 06-22-2010 05:02 PM

Local? Like craigslist? Don't want a "mail ordered" dog. ;-) Would like to see it first:coat, head, paws, etc.

adamsfence 06-22-2010 05:07 PM

i found one in jennings and one in san antonio.....the one from san antonio was off a white i would get 1 or 2 whites every litter.....i think i just used google and went from there

Ducktrickster 06-22-2010 05:21 PM

Beware the "white" or "silver" lab. Neither are recognized as colors of labrador retrievers by the akc. There is a reason that these dogs are the color that they shouldn't be.

Color
The Labrador Retriever coat colors are black, yellow and chocolate. Any other color or a combination of colors is a disqualification. A small white spot on the chest is permissible, but not desirable. White hairs from aging or scarring are not to be misinterpreted as brindling. Black--Blacks are all black. A black with brindle markings or a black with tan markings is a disqualification. Yellow--Yellows may range in color from fox-red to light cream, with variations in shading on the ears, back, and underparts of the dog. Chocolate--Chocolates can vary in shade from light to dark chocolate. Chocolate with brindle or tan markings is a disqualification.

This is taken from the breed standards by the American Kennel Club.

i hate akc everyone of my white dogs were very smart one was trained to go get beer out an ice chest.....all but 1 are duck dogs and good ones that one is a house dog. they are all ckc....just be careful and look at the parents both mine are double reg i just like to deal with ckc because akc is hard to deal with

Big Kahunaz 06-22-2010 05:36 PM

Nice info...but im not showing this dog...so a light cream or in my words white lab will work. Just want a pup w/ big paws and head. Figured somone on here would know a breeder or what not.

Big Kahunaz 06-22-2010 05:38 PM

What's the difference in AKC and CKC? I've got papers on my English Bulldog but have never had anyone ask for them nor has the topic ever been brought up.

huntin fool 06-22-2010 05:39 PM

aint you in the big island though?

Big Kahunaz 06-22-2010 05:47 PM

Yeah....thx for reminding me. Im living vicariously through all of you fishing big lake & the bend. I'll be back in a month and getting everything lined up with what little free time i have. Plus, I like to do extensive research b4 i make a purchase.

southern151 06-22-2010 05:49 PM

I've got a good friend who just ordered one and it will come "turn-key in October. He paid like $3000 for this thing but, it will know every command when he gets it. If you want, I'll check into it for ya. The guy also sells em prior to "turn-key" as well. I know he's proud of em but, my friend was begging me to come watch this pup and it's parents work about two weeks ago. He said they're amazing.

Let me know.

adamsfence 06-22-2010 05:52 PM

i dont know but akc ishard to deal with with puppies so i registered ckc. dogs a dog them papers aint worth nothing if its a dummy

WOW! That's awesome. But i can't justify why i would need to spend 3k for a lab. I'm not that avid of a duckhunter ...just looking for a good pet/ occasional hunting dog. I appreciate your reply though!

I can tell, i see you posting asking about stuff that you might buy, and i sit and say,"how's that going to get to hawaii!" hah..

Sorry man!

Big Kahunaz 06-22-2010 06:28 PM

No biggie. ...after 4 months of research..got the boat..and now i'm researching light cream labs...

Big Kahunaz 06-22-2010 06:31 PM

Male or female. Which ones make better pets, hunters, are more obedient?

adamsfence 06-22-2010 07:09 PM

Depends i like a high strung dog my male is super hyper i love it he runs wide open every retrieve and jumps as far into the water as he can but he gets a little ruff with little kids he is just playing but hes ruff....my female is layed back slow retrieves great with the little ones though ....each dog is different. just need to look at the parents and see how they are but it is still a gamble normally ur females are better minding and layed back more though in my opion

huntin fool 06-22-2010 07:40 PM

I prefer females, lot easier to train, laid back,etc.

If I could find a "GOOD" female to breed mine with! Last litter was with another yellow & she threw all yellows (not very common) a litter of 12 & all survived! Mine comes off Atta Boy blood line & have been raising own litters & trained all the puppies till I started working out of town so much. Thats where my name here comes from (wtretrievers "Whitetail Retrievers" is my kennel name) Trained most of my puppies for blood dogs, but have a many of them sold & trained as duck dogs, very laid back & sharp as a tack! That's what I mean by a "GOOD" female. Don't want to breed with anything high strung. My male will lie around or follow me were ever I go, but when it's time to work IT ON!

cajunhntr03 06-22-2010 08:57 PM

I prefer females Seem to listen better and able to be trained easier

jaclyn.renea 06-22-2010 10:13 PM

If anyone knows of a good breeding site, lemme know!

Big Kahunaz 06-23-2010 12:50 AM

WT.....you find a breeder let me know....that's a fine dog you got there!

That is an absolute beautiful dog, I would love to some day have one that looks that good.

Reputible breeders almost never, ever breed their dogs since there are so many studs out there that do more for the breeding.
$1,000.00 will get you a well bred dog with clearances if you know where to look. I have seen some great pedigrees going for less than that, currently it is a buyers market for puppies. Don't fall into the gotta have it now trap. Puppies are a long term committment and bad hips,eyes,eic,cnm can make an expensive proposition unbearable financially.

Buying Backyard Bred dogs is akin to having a nice bay boat and hooking a 1970 Chrysler on the back. Please do your homework and if you have questions P/M me.

19 Litters in 2010 (WTH!) This place is a Puppy Mill if I have ever seen one. Guy got burned out on Field Trials because he could not train well enough to be a Playa.:work:
Never see these guys advertise based only on their animals, they always have to Low Rent the American dog based on Illogical Reasoning.

raymond, i sent you an e-mail.....

My 3 Labs were back yard bred. I knew the parents of all of them.
Pure hunting dogs, straight from heaven.
None of these were field trial dogs, just hunting dogs.
I got the first 2 free. The last one I traded an old fridge from my camp for him.
The free ones did better than the fridge dog. They were females. They had better obedience. The male was a hand full.

Ray 06-23-2010 01:44 PM

There is a test you can do to a pup to see if he pays attention and how well behaved he will be later in life.
I am not sure if it is bull or not. But I have friends who use these tests before buying a dog.

Ray, I don't doubt it at all. I have trained plenty of Questionable pedgree Labs; BYB bought in pet stores, mall parking lots, junkyards and most poorly cared for. There is no disernable difference between males or females for training. I prefer to train dogs that are just on the edge of Out of Control. Makes training much more fun IMO but I know what I am doing and how to get through the training program. I can tone down a High dog but can't do the opposite with a "Piggy" one. Athletically talented dogs with moderate intelligence win out over smart untalented types on the training field.
One last thing to add, there is no difference in the training that goes into a Field trial dog and a gundog. I train off of the same program for the first six months, after that the world changes.

Jordan 06-23-2010 03:02 PM

Raymond, if i bought a lab pup... how much would you charge me to teach him the basics ?

Josh C 06-23-2010 05:29 PM

I can say this from owning two choc labs, one male and one female. The females get just as emotional as your wife when they come in heat. Won't listen to any thing and does what she wants.

I prefer males that are more hyper. You can always point them in a direction if they are running 100 mph, but you can not make a dog work if they don’t want to.

I see a trend in your training program....your obedience is not strong enough.:*****::*****::*****:

This is not Canada. There is a reason akc is difficult to deal with if you're dealing white labs. If they are registered with akc I bet your paperwork says your dogs are yellow.
