SELECTING THE PERFECT PUPPY!

Here are some guide-lines and tips in selecting the right puppy for
you and your family:

		Start with the color selection.
		Decide on the sex of your new puppy.

Some people don't want male puppies because, when the puppies grow up,
they lift their leg and tinkle on everything. Not necessarily so! You have to house train your new puppy early and continue to reinforce this training
throughout its life! That way you will have a puppy that is well behaved. Labs
are smart and want to please you. They will get away with what
YOU let them get away with!

If you are not going to breed your puppy when it gets older, then have it
neutered/spayed to avoid having unwanted puppies or unacceptable behavior.
Check with your veterinarian for the appropriate age (usually around six to seven
months old - before their hormones kick in!)

		Of course, you want to look for a puppy with a strong desire to retrieve.
		That's a given!

Make sure the puppy comes with a written health guarantee.

		You need to decide whether you want a serious hunter/retriever dog that
		needs to be kenneled or a casual hunter/retriever dog that is calm enough to stay in your home. This one coincides with the next tip.

		Look for a puppy that is "C.C.C" - Cool, Calm, and Collected! A good
		hunter/retriever needs to be able to stay behind a "Blind" for, sometimes, hours. Your retriever needs to be C.C.C. in order to do this. These puppies make great house dogs, as well as, service dogs! You want your puppy to be active but not bouncing off the walls.

		A good "Disposition" is imperative! Your puppy also needs to be alert and
		responsive.

		Make sure your puppy has been properly "socialized". Has it been hand-
		raised or been left in a kennel?

Don't be afraid to ask questions!

Don't make a hasty decision in a weak moment!

ALL PUPPIES ARE CUTE!
