Need help finding my new hunting buddy!

It's been fifteen years since I lost Keefer (Pictured), the greatest hunting companion I have ever had the honor to have in my life. For the bulk of this time I have rejected the idea of another Lab, I just couldn't deal with the thought of opening myself to trying to fill that hole in my heart with a "replacement". As time has passed I've come to understand that another hunting buddy wouldn't be a replacement, it would just be another chapter in the story. That said I'm now ready to share my blind with a new partner. I've always had male black Labs in the past but now I'm looking for a yellow Lab. Partly because I want a dog that will be less likely to get overheated in a south Georgia dove field and partly because I want a fresh start with less chance of comparing every aspect of the new pup to those that have come before him. So anyway, I've been searching for a AKC pup here in Georgia and ain't had much luck and figured someone here might be/know someone who breeds yellow labs. I'm a retired Marine so if they happen to offer a military discount please let me know. These days every penny saved counts! Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read an old Jarhead's ramblings, looking forward to hearing from anyone who may have a line on a pup.

 

I will ask my mom, where she picked hers up. Was near Macon Ga, that’s where they live. I will PM you the contact info should it interest you.
You will enjoy your new companion, always nice to have a buddy around. But I feel what your saying, I picked up a new pup 3 yrs ago. Huck is a Catahoula and is a hand full. Wouldn’t change it for the world. He ain’t my old buddy Blue, but he will do.
Meaner than a gator, with a vice grip jaw; nope there ain’t nothing better than a Catahoula Curt Dog!

 

Keefer was a stout looking companion btw. Good on you for giving him a good home.

 

My dog, Draco, is a lab / wirehair mix and I found him at the pound for $15. Look around at the shelters and you may get lucky.

Not trained as a bird dog, but he flushes the quail/doves/squirrels out of my backyard like a pro! He's a natural, FEAR THE BEARD!

 

Great looking pup! Please share the info when you get it. Thanks!

 

He was a british breed lab that a friend gave me in Japan. Funny thing was he only understood commands in Japanese. Smart as a whip and would flat shame other dogs. All my American hunting buddies started asking me to teach thier dogs in Japanese. LOL

 

11/10; would snuggle to death.

 

My new Girl is a Brittany/Lab mix 50 pounds of pure hunting energy. You might want to look at this breed just my .02. Thanks for your Service

 

Lol, that’s funny. I dated a Japanese girl in my 20s for 5yrs. That shit was a blast!!! Ayako, why did you leave me lol

Genki Josh-Chan!? Lol

 

PM sent. My mom got her block headed lab from the number I sent you and gave me her impressions of the breeder.

I thought my mom was taken back by the lady having a few breeds she working, and for that reason she may have felt like this person was making more pups then she should be.

Hard to say if that is a good lead...I don’t know, I didn’t go.

But then again I got Huck from a guy who had Catahoulas and Redbone Coons, and he had a shit ton of dogs. I would do it again in a heart beat.

If you want his number, I guarantee he would hook you up with a serious bird dog. But you would be driving to Middleton TN. Which is worth it IMO.

Yall make me wanna get a dog

 

I feel your pain we are about to lose our Lab/Mix after 15 years. I sucks but damn they are just the best. BTW my dog does not know Japanese oh well!

 

petfinder.com

And there are tons of lab rescues out there.

 

That's what we did was a local rescue outfit. I think wife found them on FB somehow?

 

godspeed sir...

 

My buddy just got a German short hair pointer/lab mix. They got him from a family the breeds them for bird dogs. He's 1yo and 95 lbs and will fetch his little toy until your arm will fall off. Hit me up if something like that would interest you can I can see if I can get the contact info from them.

 

Beaut!

And OP, my wife just put a dp on one of these, a wirehaired griffon pointer ....(but I have to push back new wheels until next year because of him

 

Yeah, not that I was looking for that reason, but $15 from the pound was a pretty smokin deal

 

crazy how much awesomeness that 15$ is gonna get you and your pup. i just love all wirey bearded dogs,

 

Money well spent



That's a big puppy dog


Pssh. Big hole in the ground, big whoop. I could do that in a weekend, dad.
