MFC Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I have two. One is 4.5 one is 2 and a bit. Rock steady although they seemed to take a little bit more coaching than my black one. But they are spot on. Edited April 13, 2017 by MFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Plenty, they're just yellow labs after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotslad Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Nothing wrong with them, althou i'd be wary of buying 1 as now they're fashionable every tom **** and harry is breeding of anything yellow no matter how rubbish they are, and charging top dollar for the pups.. Too much money involved and too fashionable at the moment. U need to do ur homework anytime u look to buy a dog/pup but i'd be doing even more homework if buying a yellow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) That pup reminds me of one of my old dogs from 40yrs ago . Pure white, but that didn't stop him hunting and retrieving. Have seen a fair few fox reds and they have all been excellent workers, but had good handlers as well. I had a chocolate and he was perhaps the best I have ever owned. Give 'em the work, train 'em right, doesn't matter what colour they are. Edited April 13, 2017 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PERCE Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 That pup reminds me of one of my old dogs from 40yrs ago . They're getting a bit rare these days as nobody seems to want a dog that light coloured. There was 3 like her in the litter & we kept the lightest one. She's got a very red pedigree though, something that you'll not find in many fox red dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaxiDriver Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Early days yet after our recent disaster fostering a spaniel, but wife and I are just talking about maybe going down the route of getting a lab puppy. Can anyone recommend a source in East Anglia and give an idea of the going rate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordieh Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 They seem to be going up in price at the moment my mate has just bought a yellow pup from field trailing lines and paid £900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
