Couldnt agree more. Angie some folks cant handle the truth.

Thanks,,,,

They just don't know the truth...

The truth is again,,,, "people" All breeding stock needs every health clearance available for that breed....

EIC has been found in field/show/and back yard no nothing pedigree's, for labs, chessies and goldens...

Also know your breeder... Know them very well...

If the consumer does their homework,,, they will have a wonderful dog that is healthy, lives long and meets their expectations....

Angie,
I think most people do know the facts about EIC, HD, ED, etc. And the people who don't shouldn't be made to feel ignorant, but be made informed. It's not just this thread. It almost every single response that you have given on this forum.
You appear very knowledgeable and concerning about labs, and that is commendable. The problem is, you use an overly arrogant and aggressive approach to push your agenda. May I suggest you try a little more tact when cramming information down peoples throats, and without redicule. Simply passing or offering helpful information in a kind manner will be much better recieved than you continuously making people feel like idiots every chance you get. up

Well you certainly proved my point, not reading you stuff is hard when you seem to enter any thread with folks asking about avalible pups or offering them to the board. No wondering necessary now, your rude, abrasive and strangely proud off it. confused2

It is not always "what" you say, but "how" you say it....

Angie, I am sure you are knowledgeable, but the tone could be better.

Take it or leave it.....

I never intended for this post to turn into a debate or get blown out of proportion... My sole intent was to find a pup in the Austin area that didn't cost an arm and two legs, come from a fancy bloodline, and wasn't born in a puppy mill.

My best friend, the one that this dog will replacing in the field (tear), is about to have hip surgery from being run over by an overzealous driver. I actually picked her out of a litter of pups that were in a cattle trailer took her to the vet and had her checked out. She is registered (for what it's worth) and a helleva hunting dog and companion.

Apparently, I should just pick up a copy of the Austin Statesmen and find another one... It would be much simpler... as I don't care about field champions or qualifications and what-not. If she holds and retrieves my birds...we will get along just fine...

Thanks for those who provided useful information...

Here are some pictures of the cattle trailer trash... I have hundreds but only choose a few to post...

Just starting to look around. Don't have a particular time in mind. When I find a pup that I am attracted to I will get it. If that makes any sense at all. Starting to look now so it will be old enough next hunting season to get a taste of what is going on.

Awesome that you didn't get discouraged in all of this. Sounds like you know just what you want and I'm sure it will come to you. A simple, good dog is... well, simply a good dog! And that's about as good as it gets! Best wishes and may you and your future buddy make many happy memories together!

Hate to rain on your parade Chris but Mandigo dogs were show dogs that never saw a hunt. Also Lean Mac was never hunted, just field trialed.

Also have your breeding stock checked for eye issues. Mandigo kennels had a problem with it.

Come on Angie, you know you don't hate it......you seem to live to rain on parades


Thats her thing.
