OH.MY.GOSH. We're getting a puppy!!
A purebred field trial black male Lab! He and his three littermates are 4 1/2 weeks old right now. They just got their first set of shots, and we'll be visiting him this coming weekend. There are two males for us to choose from. We'll be getting him when he's 7 weeks.
They are at a rescue which is what makes this story amazing (to me). My dad won't let us get anything but a purebred Lab and my mom and I do NOT want to go through a breeder (rescues are so much better) so I was thinking we'd never be able to find a male purebred field Lab puppy at a rescue. All of those things are what we need for our situation.
Their story: The puppies came from a breeder orginally. His wife was pregnant so puppies were quite a handful with a baby coming but the momma was doing all of the work. When the pups were 1 week old the momma was stolen at night while she was out to potty. He didn't have time to hand-raise them since his wife was pregnant (and about to pop) so he took them to a rescue.
My dream dog has been, for the longest time, a black male field trial Lab. I never thought I'd get him since I always want to go through a rescue.
This is so amazing!
P.S. - this is our last dog for a loooong time. 4 is all we can handle with Moody Mandy
EDIT: Name suggestions are welcome!
