Welcome! There are a lot of Labs available thru this site that fit that description. And a lot of good breeders on here that would be willing to help you. Maybe you can give us more specifics about your plans for the dog?

Kennel or house dog?
Large or small?
Blocky or lithe build?
High energy or more manageable?
Male or female?
Color preference, if any?
How much training? Can pull of marked retrieves or more like a finished dog?
Price range?

Y'know, I keep seeing these posts from newbies who appear once, ask for specifics on breeders, specifically in Texas, never to be heard from again. Y'know what, y'all? If I didn't know better, I'd say somebody is hunting down kennels.... given the approach, I'd say for less than admirable purposes. Check out all the recent posts similar to this one, targeting different sporting breeds and then check the profile of the OP's, when they joined and what they posted:

fireman - 1/5/11
hutingtheworld - 1/9/11
parisite - 7/10/11
PlayMaker - 2/1/11
RMFWTX - 10/22/11
miniduckslayer (migratory bird sec) - 1/1/12
...and one more who got neck deep in it on the gundog section (y'all know who I mean)

That's what I found in a QUICK scan. Considering recent legislation, the power mongering mentality of liberals and their typically underhanded ways of achieving their selfish, controlling and immoral ways, I really question the motivations of these posters. Mods, I know my daughter can check IP's - wonder if it's the same person or several? Anyone else belong to other boards where sport dog kennels post? Please be on the lookout and watch for this.

All in all, despite our differences, we who run sport dog kennels are all good people who realize that you have to run an above board business and take great care of your dogs if you expect to stay in business. Of any type of kennel, we typically own & deploy FAR more resources (food, land, exercise, attention, medical care, physical conditioning, etc.) than the average, let alone legal minimums, due to the nature of the animals we deal with. But those out for a witch hunt typically will create a 'scandal' where none exists, just to forward their misguided cause.

Call me paranoid, but I saw the kind of posturing, underhandedness & filth surrounding the so called "puppy mill" bill which recently passed. Just an observation from someone whose had enough trips around the sun (and spent enough time in the mire in WDC) to not notice the trend. Keep your eyes open.
