Betsy,
I would love to see you at the Specialty. I will be there on Saturday showing my youngster in the junior puppy class. You can look up the event at the Club's website.

I personally do not have any pups available, but there are plenty well bred litters happening in the Southern California area and several breeders up your way I'm sure someone can refer you to.

Hope to see you while you visiting us.
Julie :)

I would think you'll be able to find a well bred Lab in the NW for $1000-1500. Check out Rose City and Puget Sound club sites for litter and breeder listings.
