As a pet owner I have made mistakes...my first puppy I bought from a pet store:sad: 15 years I was walking through the mall and saw this chocolate lab in the window of course the store owner asked me if I would like to hold him, BIG MISTAKE
as I whip out a visa card and buy him...I was very lucky with Dylan(as for sure he was from an American puppy mill)
he was a great family pet and if someone brings him up in conversation I still end up in tears 3 years after his passing.
So this time I went through a "breeder". CKC said he had 14 years in good standing with them. (what exactly does this mean
)
Since bringing my dog to classes I have heard so much more like for example with Labs...if you want a sporting Lab, Hunting Lab, family pet ect that you need the right breeder. My breeder happened to Hunt so Guinness comes from a long line of Hunting Labs and boy does he require a heck of a lot more exercise and work.
