Hi - can someone point me in the right direction

[kaznalf]

Ive just posted in introductions but thought I would post here too.

We are currently looking to add a black female to our family and need to find a reputable breeder with litters coming up. We are on holiday at the end of June so it wont be before them.

We would like a pet quality labrador but from show lines, our 3yr old male is a field bred labrador and is castrated, we really arent into breeding. Any female that we bring home would also be neutered at the appropriate age.

Obviously a breeder who do all the health checks is a must and erm not really sure what else to put!

I plan on doing dock diving with Alfie..he is a water/retreiving fiend! And I have done gundog work with him.

Anyway best stop rambling and thanks to anyone who can help in my search

Hi Karen,

Welcome to LF and I am sure you will find it most useful.

When looking for a new puppy one of the best places to go is to contact your local labrador club. There are 13 which cover the whole of the UK - I dont know where you are in the country so cant point you to the local one - the Kennel Club Website lists them -

There is another good article on LF which may be off help -

If you do post where you live (region / area) I am sure someone there can help too -
Good look -
