How to find a good Labrador breeder?

[KurtR]

Anybody have an informed opinion on Goshen Swamp Retrievers? Their website seems to says all the right stuff and the pedigree on their recent litter looks solid to me, but I've never crossed paths with them or the sire they used (FC/AFC Blue).

What are you looking to do. From the pedigree those dogs are going to have some horse power. Should be damn nice dogs. I have a friend in Tennessee that has a litter on the ground from afc fc Percy and hrch mh female . He has two males available.

Pheasant hunt, do some hunt tests, play in the yard/ house/ pool with my kids. Really looking for a friendly, healthy, biddable family house dog to replace the lab I lost this fall.

If i end up with a great one maybe it'll motivate me to try waterfowl hunting again, but its not great in my area. When I have a healthy dog I pheasant hunt 2-3 days a week during the season.

My kids are 8/6/4, so the friendly aspect is real important.

I would ask about how the parents are in the house and if they are good and clean. That’s a pretty stacked pedigree and those dogs should play any game you want to.

Talk to them and they will know if the dogs fit you situation and if not point you in the right direction.

The litter in Tennessee I know the mom and she is a sweetheart of a dog.
