Can I be very nosy and ask if you got him from a nearby breeder? We found a breeder up in Greenfield, MA, with beautiful chocolate labs, but OMG expensive. I can't see paying $1000 for a dog, no matter the pedigree, especially when there is a neutering clause in the purchase contract.
Great story actually. My friends co-worker's dog fathered the litter. She should have gotten a large fee for this, but agreed to take a puppy instead. As the weeks were going by she panicked, not ready for a puppy again and looked for a home as she couldn't get out of the agreement. As the weeks go by down goes the cost of the puppy. We got him at 11 weeks old and gave the woman $100. In the paper they were still priced at $600 for the few that were left. I was glad to get him a bit older since he had the time to socialize with brothers

That's a great story! My parents used to put our male terrier out to stud, and they were usually offered a pup from the litter or a fee. We had a male and a female, so they went for the stud fee.
I'll let you know if we end up getting a lab! We are one town up from the CT border, so the breeder in Greenfield is about an hour for us, not far, but too pricey. We just found out a friend of ours is volunteering at a shelter, so he is keeping an eye out for us. They just took a mini pinscher. Sort of looks like a perpetual puppy!
