I'm trying to get my dad a pup for Christmas. His ten year old passed away a month ago, so trying to get him a fresh start. Anyone know where I can get one under $500? Not familiar with many kennels around here.

I'm sure he has but has he mentioned wanting another one yet?

I think it's great that this is what you want to do for your dad but I'd advise you to slow down and make sure that he wants another dog right now.
I got my 1st Lab in 1983. On my 3rd one now. I'd certainly appreciate the gesture if my son bought me a pup but at the same time I'd have to say that I would want to take a little more than a month or so before I got another one. I would appreciate the gift of a good dog but I'd much rather be involved in selecting the puppy. There's something about picking "your pup" from the litter.
Good luck either way you decide to go.

I agree with ya scatter.... But my mom mentioned something to him last week about "they" should get another dog cause things weren't the same around there. She said, he said something like when they can get some free time, they could start looking again and never seemed like he was opposed to it.
I would have some litters lined up that he can look at and maybe just wrap up a picture of the litter or the parents or something like that. My cousins bought my uncle a dog last year for Christmas and while he had been talking about getting another lab for a couple of years he wanted to get one from a certain kennel. Well they went to some off the wall kennel that wasn't anything close to what he was looking at and bought an idiot of a dog that hes stuck with for another 12 or so years so he'll probably never be able to get the dog he had been wanting.
Another thing is I wouldn't want someone picking out a dog for me. I would want to go look at the pups myself and see the parents and everything.
I dont know your situation but these are just some things to consider.

Thanks for feedback fellas.... Still ain't put my hands on one yet.... But may have something in works.
