Kids want another dog,mostly as a companion for our Lab. The Lab is 2 and just a pet. I worked with her a little when she was a puppy but she was given to us and doesn't have as much retrieving drive as others I've owned in the past. She was intended as a pet for my daughter though because she had never had a dog of any kind.

I would like to get them a new puppy that has some possibility of being more than just a pet.Some sort of hound or retriever is what I have in mind.

The catch is that I won't pay very much at all for one, maybe $100 or I have a S&W 18-2, Combat Master 4" which is a 22lr target pistol from the 70's that I would trade for the right puppy. The right puppy would be a Lab or Golden that has a good hunting bloodline,registered or not.

Please let me know if you guys know of a puppy that will meet my needs.
