Another option to consider

I would probably check with your local shelter and a few in neighboring counties. Do they have quite a few labs or lab mixes? If so, that would make be really think twice about okaying his request. Just something to consider. They may be selling well, but are they ending up in a shelter?

I know in our county and neighboring counties there are labs galore in the shelters. I don't understand it...they are beautiful, easy to train dogs.
