If anyone is looking to get a lab puppy please check this place out. http://www.milehighlabmission.com/
I adopted a lab puppy from them in the spring and couldn't be happier. They bring in lab pups from all over the country that were going to be put down. My pup, now named Kimber (yes, she is named after my everyday carry gun) has been learning to hunt since I got her.
They have LOTS of pups coming through there and can always use more people looking to adopt. You do have to fill out a rather long application but that is mostly to scare off people that shouldn't have dogs.
Here she is

Yes, she's pointing at some doves in my tree. No, I don't know why she decided to get on my patio table to point at them.

Thumbs up from me. I've been a volunteer at Maxfund for about 6 or 7 years now, and I hate it when people buy dogs when there are so many good rescue animals out there

X a million. I have adopted from MaxFund...great place! Also, I have got cats/dogs from Denver Dumb Friends League, Jeffo Co Animal Shelter and other rescue mission places! And yes I have several animals, I love them and it does cost more a month to feed them than it does myself but hey I'm ok with that...I think.
Duh, she's on the patio table so she can seem them better! HAHA.
Gorgeuos pup.

Of course!
She is also indicating you will probably need a step ladder and your 410... not not that one... the OTHER one!
Wow - when she grows into those feet... watch out!

Or maybe to see over the fense and there is a MacDonalds on the other side of the street?

Thanks. I didn't plan on making her a pointing lab but she does it instinctively so I am going with it. Although, usually she does it from the ground so I can have her release and flush em out of the tree...not so easy from the table. Dogs do silly things sometimes. Sometimes, she'll have been outside for a while and when I go to check on her she is standing in front of the tree pointing...who knows how longs she's been there. I go out and tell her to go get em, she flushes them out and comes back to me for congratulatory belly rub. She won't be ready for this season, but look out next year.

She is around 7 months now and came in at 52 lbs the other day. I'm hoping she learns how to jump in the back of the truck by herself because I'm not going to like lifting her before too long.

[ROFL1] That's it! Darn, I thought she had natural talent.

This is the first dog I have personally trained so I was a little worried about an older rescue dog as I know some of the older abused dogs take some extra attention and focus that I wasn't sure I knew how to give. I still wanted a rescue dog so I looked for a place that had pups because in my mind a pup gave me the best chance of training success, whether that's true or not. And I wanted her to hunt and an older rescue dog wouldn't have been trained to do that. Mile High Lab Mission does have some older dogs but mostly pups. My pup came from Tenn. with her mom. Mom got adopted out shortly after she did. Mile High Lab mission has only been around less than a year but they have adopted out MANY dogs. At my last count in July they had adopted out 99 dogs. All run basically by one lady. Great person.

I don't know how some people tote around their massive dogs. My tattoo artist got a Boerboel a few months back (South African Mastiff), and those average 150-200 pounds... I'd hate to help that big basterd in and out of the car

I would NOT be helping him anywhere. I'm sure he goes where he wants, in or out of the car!
My pup really isnt big as far as dogs go, just big for her age/breed. I grew up with a Bouvier that was well over 100lbs...still not as big as that guy above, but do understand what truly big dogs are.

So here's the itinerary, you are driving me down to the park so I can chew on a few 6th graders, then we are going to Arby's for a side of beef. then we hit the highway for some "Wind in Face" time.
I'll let you drive.
