I've retired Canada, and Gypsy is only a baby, so won't be ready to breed for a long time. So I put out some ads looking for breeding age female Labs to add to my breeding program. I want to be able to have 4-5 litters per year so want at least 2, maybe 3 more females.

Luckily, I've gotten leads on a couple since placing my ads last night. Now I have to try to decide which to pursue and how far I'm willing to go to get them. lol

I have been offered a yellow AKC female at a very fair price, but would have to spend the better part of a day going to get her. She's over in Minnesota about 3.5 - 4 hrs away.

I've been offered a yellow purebred 2 hrs from home that is free, and the owner offered to meet me half way; but is with a lesser registry than AKC. She looks incredibly like my Gypsy, so is a very nice looking dog.

They are both approaching 2 yrs old so that's ideal.

Now I can't decide what to do. lol
Since I'm breeding hybrids, the registry shouldn't be a big factor as long as I'm sure they ARE registered purebreds. What to do, what to do!?
