thanks much ill check it out
From the Labrador Retriever Club
Are you just looking for pets, hunting, show ring/obedience/agility?
Contact these folks. Always start with the local clubs. You know you are getting a dog who conforms to standards and who meets all of the health and physical standards, something very important with such an over bred breed like Labs.

Just an FYI on the link I gave you. These are going to be top notch breeders so you will pay alot for these pups. For something in a more affordable range I would check with your local Vet for local breeders who they know are good and have a reputable backgrownd.
Hey if your just looking for pets would say be cheaper just to go to the pound, but you sure got your work cut out with two lab puppies, see a visit from cesar milan in your future.

haha, yeah mostly for pets i dont hunt much anymore and if i did dont really use retreivers. i had a lab before and loved her to death and have trained 2 rotts at the same time as well as a tibeten mastiff and a pomeranian (yeah i know) but i am finally setteling down somewhere now and would like to get 2 labs to add to the family along with my wife and son might stick with local breeders once i get back home and do some searching
I can't recommend a breeder in that area, but I can say that you are making a great choice with the breed! I have a Chocolate Lab and while he took a lot of training and consistency, he is amazing. One was a chore in itself though. Couldn't imagine two! lol.

I'm from Orlando and I got my yellow lab in daytona beach from a broken home. She was my best friend growing up and she passed away last summer while I was in Afghanistan. My mom didn't tell me until I returned which was a big bummer. But my mom hasn't been the.same. I'm in the market for a pup as well. To keep my moms spirits up.

I agree. They have history but from my experience that makes most fiercely loyal.
Another option would be to contact a rescue and ask them to keep you in mind if they get some pups.

true, but with labs having problems like hip/joint and eye sight i really rather not get ones that i cannot trace history or anything
