I would like for you to meet

Gary and friends
I would like y'all to meet my new friend, Pepper. She arrived from Ireland two days ago and we just love her . She is a 53lb bitch , sweet, calm. smart, and fully trained. I wish I had the skill and patience that y'all do, but my ability as a dog trainer= 0 Labs are truly one of God's gifts!

Thats a nice looking dog David. If she is going to work for you in the duck blind does she have her Green card?

I interesting story there. First Delta lost her, finally found her, but had lost her medical records. Custom would not let her go until I found an understanding Customs Agent that was a lab guy. He said "Delta screwed up but I will not let a Lab suffer for it . I was shortly on my way home . Long frustrating day and inexcusable on Delta's part.

The needless red tape we have to suffer through is absurd in most cases. I don't like to fly with a gun anymore and I can't imagine shipping a dog by air. I have a friend who raises English Setters and he gets and ships dogs by air all the time. I'm to old and crusty I guess for the modern world

I completely agree with you. I had never shipped a dog by air before and would be very reluctant to do so again. I think though that Ireland to SC is a mighty long blind retrieve!!

That's true but if she did it look at the bragging rites you would have. When she gets a little older you'll have to let her have some green beer with her kibbles just to keep her roots grounded so to speak.

She's a beauty David, how old? Now you guys are making me want to go back to the shelter to get another Lab. Two's company, three's a ball. Yeah.... gotta love those Labs.
