Why doesn't he adopt from the shelter? There are usually TONS of retrievers there. Does it HAVE to be a chessie?

Being that there are so many in shelters, I would stick to a breeder. Why pick up someone elses trash?

I know you were just trying to stir things up with this comment, but just because a dog's in a shelter doesn't mean it's trash. It might be a perfect sport dog, but happened to be too much dog for the previous owners to handle, and so they dumped it in a shelter.

Woody, have you thought about breed rescue? They deal with primarily or ONLY purebred dogs, and often have the papers on many of the dogs they have in their care. Just a thought. :wink:

The advise I gave came from Woody's description of the guy.

I see your point.
