Story
I recently got two pure bred lab puppies from a litter of my friend's male and female gundogs, and right now, two puppies are just a bit too much. I am rehoming an AKC registered yellow lab puppy. He's a smart, excellent retriever who is really good with people and other animals. I have his AKC registration which I can transfer online, and can provide a record of his pedigree upon request. He's current on all vaccines and heartworm, and I have had him microchipped through HomeAgain. Thanks for looking!
