So, Mike and I finally agreed on the English Labrador Retriever (no surprise, there!) - We shopped around, looked at registered breeders, and we think we may have found the correct one, who has been around for quite a while. Their website is: http://www.highlandlabradors.net/index.html - We are meeting them this afternoon, get a feel of how the dogs are, and how they interact with us and mostly talk with the breeders and they wanted to get to know us. I guess I am excited, I may just want to take them all home with me! We also have came up with a couple names in mind - we will want a male puppy. So we will have to wait once we meet him and figure out which name suits him best.
The potential puppy we may consider are from these parents:

Nitro - Fox Red - Dad


and

Shiloh - Cream - Mom


This is one of Shiloh's puppies - now 2 years old and serving as a Police Dog - "Tank"



Will keep you guys updated!
