Currently have my first lab. Black Female, British Lab. Went thru the same thing wondering which to get M vs F. My grandfather trained labs for years and I always remember him having males. Males have more drive in with tougher conditions (colder, etc). My female is 9 months and plenty of drive. Making 160 yard retrieves off of a remote launcher. 12 hunting trips a year and family dog I'd go female again.

I picked one of the calmer pups from the litter. When people say their lab is calm, they mean calm for a lab. All have plenty of energy.

Get Water Dog or a newer book. I spent a good amount of time on youtube with puppy training videos and gave our dog a great head start. Highly recommend. Train them every time you feed them, even if it's only 2 minutes. Great start to getting them and encouraging their urge to make you happy and work for reward.

Have a female black lab. What is a good priced shock collar? Garmin Tritronics? Etc?

Only have 1 dog, don't need a multiple set up. Best place to get too.

Thanks for the help

Great looking pup. Earlier you start training the better, even if he won't be a hunting dog. YouTube (lab) puppy training videos. Labs want to please. Look up Pat Nolan on YouTube. My lab is 8 months and knock on wood haven't had too many problems. We trained every time we fed her, hungry dog will do anything you want. Good luck!

Redwing. Go to the redwing store on siegen road in baton rouge. They have a sole machine that looks a pressure points. Bought the insoles that were not cheap but haven't had a problem since. Lace up are way better for support.

He is going to speed with or without a radar detector. This will just make him a more conscious speeder.

I bought one and hate not having it with me.

Thanks for the help. I like the 1 and 2 syllable names, easier while hunting and training for calling out

Need some suggestions on names for a new hunting dog joining the family in a month. Black British Lab, female

Buying a new duck boat set-up / fishing rig. Water on our duck lease is pretty low also want to use this rig for marsh red fishing and bowfishing.

Really I'm between a 36 hp prodrive and a 35 hp gatortail, leaning more towards the gatortail because its faster.

Prodrive will go thru more stuff but gatortail is a faster motor. I'd rather be able to go faster than the full power reverse for prodrive. Plus the prodrive is apprx 140 lbs heavier than the gatortail.

Any body have one and what do you think?

A couple of guys that graduated from LSU started a fishing kayak company called Kajun Kayak Company. Contact them and they will probably be interested. See below for their websites and their facebook page has a lot of pictures.
