You'd think it'd be easy to find a yellow lab bitch puppy. But no, there seems to be a shortage of them over here

I for the life of me cannot find a decently bred lab for love nor money. Search will have to be extended to ROI now then.
 
Everyone we find is either all out of yellow bitches (it HAS to be that, tradition in our family to own dogs that my granda once had, so we've had a springer and two black labs so far so now onto the yellow! we also name them after the originals as well) or the mother has been bred way too young (I will not support someone who is just in it purely for moneya nd does not respect their animal) or the lines are terrible, quite a bit of inbreeding seems to be going on at the min

We did hope we'd find a good one when we were over for CLA, but that all fell through.

Yes - there is loads of dodgy breeding in general at the mo

We hoping to get a yellow lab next year... when my puppy is a year and a half old... Have just about started looking for possible breeders as i know it may take time....

fingers crossed you find one soon x
 
My OH has just got a working bred yellow lab dog puppy (he's been looking about as long as I've known him - 18 months...)

He wasn't looking for a puppy originally - he wanted a gun dog trained one that didn't like the bangs - so he didn't have to train from scratch but met this puppy through work (treated him during a weekend on call) and was blackmailed (by colleagues/breeder) into buying him.

Puppy is so sweet, but scarily intelligent - 13 weeks old, house trained, sleeps quietly through the night in cage, sits on command etc but sadly also worked out that the thorn bush in the garden is the best place to try to chew/eat inappropriate things like sharp sticks, plant tickets, buried bits of string he's dug up and is quite cunning about stealing space on the sofa - rather like his owner! Spent the entire weekend being prickled by thorn bush catching puppy and retrieving string, things that looked like bounce sheets (no idea where they'd come from - OH doesn't use them!) and plant labels from his mouth. He doesn't try and bite - just tries to push your hand away with his paw, and accepts it when you take away the inappropriate stuff - spent ages checking the garden, and he still finds stuff!
 
Good luck in finding your yellow lab!
I have a yellow dog, Harvey, who was home breed, hes now 4, he is so beautiful and our black lab, Ollie who is now 2 is also beautiful but the complete oppisite build! Im thinking he must have been breed from the working labs, even though they look so different they are equally special.
I cant work out how to display a pic to my tread though! x
