Started/Older/Foster Program

Older Dog Needs a Good Home Soon.

Gabby almost 7. We have fostered her for 2 years

Current on vaccinations.

Gabby is from Rico and she was rescued because she never was let out of her run for 5 years. She was not socialized properly in the beginning but she is a sweet loving dog who has come around, gets along with all older dogs, but because she was not let out she barks outside so she must be a house dog and is good in the house. She would make an ideal companion for another dog who has lost their friend. She has always been with another dogs. She is happy and loves treats. You will love her!

Breeding Foster Program

  I will be placing  one or two Chocolate females in 2010 in foster homes with breeding rights for several litters, and then when your obligation is finished, the foster family owns the dog.  I would like her to be placed in a hunting home, a plus would be someone interested in running at junior hunt tests, or placed with an active family, but either way she MUST be a house dog.  Preference will be given to you if you already have another dog from me, or have another dog because I will need to take the dog for health certs, breeding, and whelping (which would be a period of 5-6 weeks) and in the past people have a difficult time allowing a single dog go for that long. The foster family must live within 100 miles from me,  and must be experienced with raising hunting Labradors. You must not ever be interested in breeding the dog yourself, and there will be a contract defining the expectations and obligations of the agreement. When the contract is ended you will be expected to spay the dog as you will not have breeding rights. I will be very discriminating in her placement.  My foster homes must be real homes and families, and not just someone looking for a hunting dog or a broker. If you are familiar with whelping a litter you may be approved to whelp the litter, but you must be able to cope with changing conditions and have either a healthcare or animal husbandry background, have very good animal sense, and have access to a vet near by that takes call. If you live farther than 40 miles away it would be best if I whelp the litter because I have access to reproduction veterinarians, and it would be safer for the dog to be under their care in case complications arise.
