re: What should one expect to pay for a British Labrador?

My English lab. I'm assuming English and British are the same.

High dollar bastards. If I get a male can I make him a stud?

They have restricted papers.

You can stud him, but the pups won't fetch top dollar, but still higher than most places.

And, depending on the stud/dam a wildrose pup is $1200. IDK where this $2k talk is coming from. Unless they changed pricing in the last year.


ETA: and you don't overpay for the retriever in a british. You overpay for the versatility. Meaning he/she can go balls to the wall hunting all morning, come home and play with the kids/sleep by the fire/etc. All the while the damn tail will be wagging and they'll be happy to please you. Instead of a hunting machine that spends 15 years with it's tail between it's legs tearing up furniture and shite when home.

ST bought one last year, I think he'd know the pricing.

They all hunt great.

Expensive dogs make expensive puppies.

Just heard back form Wildrose and they're definitely $2,000 a pup

How much was that lease?
your shotgun?
your lifetime license?
your boat?
that blind?

None of those will spoon with you on the couch, or literally die for you

Nobody ever said our hobby was cheap
