Okay, after all that talk of Spinones, I went and got another Chocolate lab pup.
I wasn't going to get a dog until next year. I was planning on doing lots of research on breeders and visiting with them over time.
Then, a co-worker asked me if I knew someone who was looking for a Chocolate male. I figured my wife put him up to it (my wife and I work together). Nope. He thought I might know someone. We decided to go look and see the sire and the pups. After seeing the sire, I was hooked. He was exactly what I was looking for.

So, meet Chief! He's been nothing short of amazing so far. Working on some basic commands and just being a puupy so far.
