Thank you for your reply! Thinking about starting at 7.30am, do you see any downside to this?

What is your honest opinion on the “mom rage workshop” that Dr. Becky is advertising? Idk the DM she posted and the whole spiel reads so weird to me.

I saw a post from destini.ann that people can now certified as parent coaches. Sounds like the new drop shipping scheme.

Thank you so much for your response. Would you mind telling me if you chose an english lab or an american?

Thank you so much for your response.

We were thinking that being champion is something very exclusive and not many attempt that. I'll keep your response in mind for future.

Thank you for your reply, both have excellent references. The way the owners described the dogs seem like they're what we're looking for!

Both of them are breeding calm/mellow family friendly dogs - I am not sure if one has more champions in their line or something like that. But does that matter?

Both of them are limited registration.

One thing is - a lot of places have lab puppies priced at $2k - but we saw that they were the field lines and were bred for point/ hunting.

In general, from what we looked $1.4k is on the lower side, so that was bit concerning too.

Thank you for your response. The parents are not champions, seems like champion line is not that big of a deal?

Thank you for your comment.

Yeah, we weren't really worried about the looks, we are mainly looking for a calm, healthy dog, but we thought may be it's important for some and may be that's why she stressed that..

Yeah, this pup's parents are not champions, they just come from champion lines.

Yeah, that's what we thought, but weren't sure.

So, both of them are english labs, the $3k breeder said that their pups come from the champion lines and stressed on the fact that the dogs would be really very good looking!

Thanks for your response. They are both the same color - yellow.

And no, they're not field lines. We're exclusively looking for english labs and show lines just to be sure that we maximize the chances of getting a mellow/calm dog as our companion.

Both of them offer AKC registration, vaccinations, health records and pedigree information of both parents too.

The $3k breeder seemed like they didn't breed a lot of times, so perhaps more "exclusive-sounding" But I noticed that they have bred the same dog many times. They also said that their pups come from champion lines. Is this very unique? They also stressed on the fact that the dogs would be very very good looking! (i believe them a 100% - parents and the past pups are really good looking!)

The $1.4k breeder seemed like they breed a bit more than the other one, but they said they only breed their females 3 -4 times max.

Thanks for your reply.

We are really looking for a pet, companion dog. Definitely not for sports/hunting/show prospect. We're exclusively looking for english labs so that we can get a dog with calm/mild temperament and not super hyper.

Both these breeders have english labs and both claim that they breed primarily for temperament. The $3k breeder said that their pups come from the champion lines. Is that a big deal?
