Hi I am glad I found this Forum, looking forward to everyones's advice. We are going to visit and pick out our White Lab today, and pick him up then Friday. Hoping to name him Scout . We lost our dog a month ago, and didn't think we be ready this close. But these labs came up and the parents/ owners live close. So we are going to jump into getting him. My 13 year old doesn't want another dog, afraid of losing another dog , and taking him to somewhere when we go vacation. But sure when he see's him he will change his mind . And maybe owners will puppy sit if we do go vacation .
