hatsanmad Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hi guys been doing quite a bit searching and infomation gathering for my next lab and iv come across ettinsmoor labradors. They look really good dogs seen a couple of videos of them and they seem a nice fast stylish dog. Just wondering if anyone has seen these dogs in the flesh? And what do you think of them or does anyone have one of there dogs on here? Regards hatsan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler23 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I was looking at them recently, I decided not to go with them as I didn't like there snipey heads, I like a stronger looking dog, but that's just me, they look very well conditioned dogs, and seem well tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatsanmad Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Well funny enough that was my first thought aswell. But i do quite like the way they work. The litter im waiting on is the next pairing with kapilano fleckel and garricmoor grenadier of ettinsmoor. Seen pictures of the previous litters and they look really good dogs. And for the type of work i will be doing they seem absolutly ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcs1972 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 yep - met the lady that runs the kennel at a field trial,, nice dogs and well tested with a lot of thought gone into matings etc .......depends what you're after........And yes they are well health tested and are nice dogs in my book, but its horses for courses...

paul1966 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 just out of interested how much did they want for a pup fenboy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 just out of interested how much did they want for a pup fenboy? When I enquired 3 years ago they were £800 which I thought was a bit on the steep side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1966 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 wow, £800 today would be a bit steep for me, never mind three years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Had a look on the website. Its still £800 a pup whatever sex or colour it is. Some places are charging a £1000 for a red lab pup so its all relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some places are charging a £1000 for a red lab pup so its all relative. Just because they are charging that does not make them worth it , many of the fox reds are of poor pedigree but people are charging a premium for the colour . I am not saying the kennel in question has poor quality pups but you can buy black / yellow pups of the same or better breeding for a few £100 less.

loriusgarrulus Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Think if I was looking for a lab I would go for the black or yellow. My BIL had a black lab rescue. Lovely dog and retrained very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcs1972 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 personally dont buy on price......theres particular breeding and health checks in a working yellow I want and if a pup is 12 or 1200 then thats what I will pay..... If you think pup prices are expensive, dont start looking at the price of a fulky trained novice trial winner ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Under 700 for the best from the best. The issue is some belive you totally get what you pay for Thing is though there is some garbage about for under 500, not saying all those just the lab is the most bred dog in the world. So remember statistically there is a lot of trash being made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Offered one before Christmas as good as it gets if I was a trial man I should have snapped it up. Just didn't fill my criteria and I wasn't in a push to loose time in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think pup prices are expensive, dont start looking at the price of a fulky trained novice trial winner ;-) spot on, if you don't like the price look elsewhere. I'll pay what I think the dog/breeding is worth to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
