Hello Don,
I'd just like to say you have some lovely dogs - my husband and I had the pleasure of taking care of one of your pups (now three yrs) over the past four months for a friend.
About two years ago we had been looking getting a lab (my husband's childhood buddy, a big yellow guy had passed away), and your kennel had been of interest to us. At that time we were still students and lived in Ontario, so we decided to hold off on getting a dog until we figured things out a bit more. We lived in Nova Scotia for the past year, which is where we met Sue, the black lab, and her owner, whom we were hunting with (since we don't have a dog yet!) up in Canning and Cape Split. We were sad to see Sue go home, as she is a great dog, but we also know that she is super happy at home and that her owner loves her very much.
We've recently moved home to Ontario, as we are now finished with schooling. I know Sue was born March 21, 2008 - so from that I have deduced that your Pat is her sister. Right now I am just simply curious as to whether you'll be breeding Pat maybe within the next two years? Also, do you take deposits, etc? Depending on timing, etc, we would be able to make the drive out to get the pup, but I am also wondering if you ship/fly them out at all?
I didn't want to make this too long winded, but I do have a few more questions I'll save for later. Again, you have some beautiful dogs, and we love your mandate of health, behaviour and abilities being most important. If it isn't obvious, we hunt and fish all year round, and for those times when the seasons are closed we are out canoeing and camping and very active.
Regards,
K
