I am looking for a yellow lab but hoping not too pay too much. The cheapest I've seen has been $450.00. Hope someone has some contacts. Let me know
A friend of a friend just returned from Nebraska with a brand new black lab. I talked to him a little about the dog, where he got her, how much, blood lines. He says that labs are considerably cheaper (300.00 to 400.00) in Nebraska and no in-breeding, such as goes on around here.
So, you might check for some breaders in Nebraska.
The thing about that is that you need to pay for the flight of the dog which is about $125 which brings the price up. There is no better feeling than picking out a dog from a litter and calling him/her your own. Thanks for the heads up though.
bear down
i know it sucks but you have to bite the bullet on price. like most anything else you get what you pay for. i know there are going to be people who got great dogs free from the pound or aspca. they are right you can get a great mut or sometimes even pure bread from the pound but you never really know what the deal was. good thing you are saving a dog, bad is you just never know. it is well worth it, even if you have to wait a little and save up some extra cash to go to a repuitable breeder. make sure you can play with all the puppies and meet the parents and see how they are and look. labs looks and temperment can really very so take the time to find a puppy whos parents look the way you want your dog to look when he/she grows up. just my .02
We got lucky with our last dog. $250 bucks with papers but she is also black, yellow labs are more expensive. Having the money is not the issue but paying $600 bucks is, that is a lot of trips to Havasu!. I think if I search around I might find something. We tried going through an adoption agency and we were denied because we keep our dogs out side during the day and in at night go figure. It was either that or the pic of our current dog passed out.
Thanks for the feedback!

Some of the adoption (aka breed rescue) people are pretty zealouse. I think they forget that these are dogs. Every lab that I've seen loves to be outside. Our family dog wouldn't stay in more than a few hours, especially in the winter, she loved the snow and being outside.
I understand about the distance thing and getting a new puppy. A few of us are planning a trip up there next spring to look at dogs.
Winnie Linborn is a Very well known Labrador breeder and has been for years in the So, Cal area. Top notch blood lines, and champions. I believe that she is in Lancaster. Another good breeder is McMillian Labs in Canyon Country. I bought a Chocolate Lab from McMillian. He was a Great Dog I might add, he died a year ago. Big Heads on his labs. His Labs came from Winnie Linborn's stock. Just remember, you get what you pay for. I paid $350 back in 1990. Not sure about these days. I'm between dogs right now.
Try AAALabs.com.....thery're out there off the 60 freeway near the 15.
I bought a yellow female lab two years ago from them and then bought a chocolate female lab there about 8 months ago. It's a husband and wife that run the place and they've always got pups on the way. Yeah.. you will pay around $600 but it's well worth it. My dogs are healthy and well tempered. Plus the dogs come with AKC papers and a health guarantee.
You could shop around and find some for a lower price, but when it comes to something like a dog you want to make sure the breeders know what they're doing. My manager bought a chocolate lab (from AAA Labs) just before I got my choc...and her dog is like a damn horse! He's huge :eek!:
