When I was a kid we bred Beitish labs. On a small scale, but OMG what a chore.

I really didn't want to do this shite again for Lab #4, training a puppy that is. I was going to buy a Started dog but the few that I really had interest in were all $3,000 plus. So, I just shelled out my grand on a good puppy and said frick the trainer. I ran my 2nd Lab back in college to her HRC title and my 3rd Lab didn't turn out to bad for being a borderline tard, so I figure I got one more in me.

Getting a lab from huntfield kennels in Mississippi, has anyone purchased a dog from them before?


Dad had one. Best dog he ever owned and he's 65. Fox red in color and his daddy was Sam. Good breed. Also Ace Kennels in Kiln has great dogs.

We got one from there back in February. They are British labs. Mine is almost fully grown at 50 lbs. Very trainable.
She is a fox red/yellow cross.
They were very professional with us. We love ours.

Glad to hear the good reviews, I don't interact with him convening his dogs, more so in his day job

Yep. I got a fox red female from them last year. She has been easy to train and has a serious drive to retrieve.
She weighs 52lbs at year and half.

So far she has been fine.
She gets regular check ups and they said she looks good.

I had my dad's male trained to retrieve golf balls. Had him up to a 200 yard 5 iron befor he got killed. Real good dog that lived to retrieve. My brother has one now and his had the same daddy (Sam) but a different mom. He is a darker red and more muscular. Looks to be another good one.
