Hunting Lab breeder near Kingston Ontario

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for some help and some advice. Currently, I have a 14 year old chocolate lab (Maggie). She has been a wonderful dog. However, at 14 years of age her waterfowl hunting days are over. I am so blessed that she is still fairly healthy. I would never get another dog until Maggie does pass, but I would like to start my research now. I am looking for a good quality hunting lab breader (In the Kingston area would be prefered). Does anyone know of a quality breeder that they can share their experiences with me?

P.S Colour doesn't matter to me.


Thank you.

Chrisun

Chrisun,

There are a few breeders on the forums here. I have met one personally, 3 Black Dogs. I haven't gotten a dog from him but TurkeyRookie has. 3 Black Dogs is in Ancaster and TurkeyRookie travelled from Timmins to pick up his pup. PM them and just see what kind of experience TurkeyRookie had.

i have some friends who i hunt with who have bred their dogs together and the pups will be available in the next 2 weeks. no papers but they can read but purbreed. honestly i'm not into this but maybe you are. send me a PM if you want more info. they are outside waterloo

Check out Shawn at Oakridge retrievers. He is in Port Perry I believe? His dogs are round $1250. Proven grand national dogs.

I got my chocolate from Lola Nichol at Maktawae Kennels. She breeds great dogs where show and field lines meet. Maktawae Luke Bo Duke is almost 5 months old. He is smart as a whip and nice and calm not a high energy balls out all the time field trial dogs.

So many awesome breeders in Ontario it's hard to go wrong. I wouldnt buy a dog out of a backyard with no papers or pedigree. Unless that's your thing.

With labs being so popular you should have no problem getting a great one from reputable breeders. I also wouldn't touch a backyard bred one. The price doesn't mean much over a dog's lifetime but a serious health defect like hips can be devestating.

i agree with teryym i know both dogs and they are in great shape and health but you have to be carefull. better save than sorry.

You are smart to take your time to make sure that you find the right dog.
You should try to hook up with some trainers in your area BEFORE you put money down on a pup.
They will likely steer you into a good breeding that will allow you to go as far with a dog as you like.
Lots of people just want a hunting dog, until they get bitten by the training bug.
I would try to contact Dave Thompson of Gahonk Kennels, in Brighton, and ask him to find you a good litter.
He's just a phone call away

Just an FYI : By law you can not call a dog a/pup a purebred if you don't have the papers.

" It is illegal in Canada to sell a dog as a purebred without supplying registration papers free. The seller must register and transfer the ownership of the dog to the buyer at no cost. This is protected by the ANIMAL PEDIGREE ACT." quote
