No, I'm not interested in field trials either. My dog won't be

British Labradors are significantly smaller than their American
cousins, slighter of build and with a quieter temperament. Male
British Labs average 70-75 pounds, the females 53-58 pounds and
while some have competed well in American field trials their
small stature puts them at a disadvantage.
A dog from British Trial lines is an EXCELLENT choice for a gun dog
... mainly because of the quieter temperament
You'll do great Ken, keep us updated ... got a name yet?

Thanks Larry. We want a name that reflects the Irish in her
bloodline and starts with a K. (My wife is Kristine with a
K, my first name starts with a K, so there you have it. ;-)
I'm leaning toward Kerry and my wife seems partial to Kelty.


Whatever it must be a regal name worthy of a proper dog :-)
