Finding female Black Lab in heat

18 11:56:31

Question
Hi,
I have a beautiful (just turned 2yom who is from Idaho)Black Lab, I'd like to mate before having neutered.
Any info on how to hook-up with owners looking for a litter?
I only want a puppy from this smart, beautiful dog.


Answer
Hi Dick

The best is to find a local breeder and/or check with local breed clubs.

Remember if you are studding out, the importance of doing and having a Brucellois test can't be stressed enough.  It's is sexually transmitted and can be detrimental to both parties.   Also remember to have a written stud contract to clearly outline expectations.

Good luck
