I have a 6 year male black lab. Great hunter, comes from a hunting blood line. I want one puppy out the litter. Located in denham but willing to travel a little!

Does he have health certifications? If not please don’t breed him. The last thing we need is more labs with pre-life bad health disposition.
If you still want to breed your dog, have him health tested! If his hips, elbows, and eyes all checkout, you may be able to breed him. If you can find somebody that will breed a non titled dog. As in, go to an AKC/CKC field or hunt trial, run your dog and have it “scored” basically.
There a lot of backyard breeders especially in Louisiana and the south, with Labs. Too many people will spend 2-300 for a full blooded lab with papers and this just cry’s for the mouth breathers to breed them for profit.
All it does is cause health problems for not only that litter, but the breed as a whole.
If you are getting a “full blooded” lab with papers for less than $350, LOOK INTO THE PARENTS HEALTH TESTING! Chances are, they weren’t. A couple health tested parent, with hunt tests will spit out 1K + dogs. Dogs that won’t have health problems for 15 years and I can really know, won’t be stupid as shite

Thanks for you input I have papers on my dog with Akc (grant it I never registered him) he’s 6 with no health issues! I’m not trying to make a living off breeding labs. I just want to keep his blood line as he’s the best dog we’ve ever had. The guy I’m taking with also isn’t looking to make a living off his dog.

That’s exactly the point he’s trying to make. Get the dog tested if you want to breed him. He might be healthy now but what will he look like in 5 years? You breed him now and his hips are ate up with displacia now you have 6-10 pups that you’ve introduced this to that many pups and perhaps another person wanting to breed them so the process repeats itself.
My current dog is a nice dog and I probably won’t ever have one like him but he is EIC affected. Although I stil hunt him and we’ve made it through 8 years with very few episodes I’d never breed him because I’m not that selfish. I’d love to have a pup off of him but I don’t want to bring that back into the breed again. Do you see the point? It’s not about you it’s about the breed and what you are wanting to potentially do. If you want to breed the dog then go get him checked out and feel good about prolonging the breed that we all love so much.

I’d suggest looking for your dogs blood line. Not hard to find and you’ll get a closer dog to what you have, as your best chance with a random dog is 50/50.
Not as much about making a living as just bad breeding ethics/standards.
But like I said, in the south, they will sell. So you should have no trouble offing 10+ lab pups for $200 and making a couple hundred. Breeding gets expensive , especially done correctly , which is why a properly bred lab will cost you a pretty penny.
(A silver is not included in what I’m referring to)
^tigernation gets it. Your dog is undoubtably fine at 6 unless he has some very very bad hips. But at 8-12 they will be shot if he’s hunting, healthy or not. Add bad to moderate hips to that, and a working lab will not living past 12 without pain pills.
As he said, it’s selfish to the breed.
You get your pup that may have great hip, while 6-8 of the other 12 pups are full of hip displasia and live the same slow death a dog with this disease lives. Look up a lab with it. It’s quite awful.
Respect the breed and buy from a reputable breeder with quality bloodlines. Chances are they are making less than the 2-300$ backyard pups. Because health testing is very very exeosnvie. Which is the first of 10-15 tests a female will go through right BEFORE getting pregnant.
