New puppy.

Yeah, she is AKC out of Granite Ledge Kennels. Both parents are natural pointers, parents, grand parents, and great grand parents have a bunch of titles, etc etc. should be a great bird dog.
She is super mellow, and just an awesome puppt for the 24 hours that we have had her.

I have had 4 english setters, arguably one of the best if not THE best (hunting wise) pointing dog there is. However, they are a little harder to train. Very independant, slow maturing dogs. We picked a lab for ease of training, and the style of hunting we do I figure a bigger dog will work better in the tails. The fact that she is pointing is just a bonus. It will never be a hard steady point like any of the German pointing breads. Setters and pointers to cover large peices of land and go for days, lab for heavy cover where the over worked birds are.
MOAR PICS!
More pics, some from the park. She went on a hard point on a robin. My wife did not get the camera out fast enough. I nearly back handed her....JK!
We had more snow, the only place that didn't really have snow was the baseball diamonds behind our house.
After her first bath. It was awesome apparently.
Nephew loves the puppy.
....nephew is not right, lol

good looking dog, from my experience and knowledge chocolate labs are the craziest of all labs...and very tempermental.
i'm confused by you saying she's a pointer tho? what makes her a pointer?
-
She points. Select people have been breeding labs in the past 15-20 years with natural pointing ability, like a pointer or a setter. I really do not care if she points that much...just the fact that she is interested in birds is enough for me.
So far, she has been the mellowest pup I have ever had.
Sauk river has some excellent pointing labs. Here is an example of one.
-
yeah, i've heard of some that would sort of "point" but pretty much every hunting dog does that before they start chasing a animal, but yeah either way its pretty cool.
Labs are definately good bird dogs though!

Exactly, if she's doing it naturally it will be that much easier to train her into it. My grandma's OLD chocolate black mix used to do it too. By the time she adopted him he was getting on but either someone had worked with him, or he did it naturally. Quite the cutie you got there.
