We drove down to the gorgeous town of Bridgewater yesterday to meet a local Labrador Retriever breeder and to view her dogs. Her current head dog is a truly stunning yellow male named Crofter. Crofter weighs about 80 pounds and it's all muscle underneath light fur. I thought he stood a couple inches shorter than our black Lab (and Sage's littermate) Riker does. Same weight, though. And it's a fighting weight, with Crofter. He's built like a horse. Or maybe a small lion:

This breeder's most highly-requested puppy is the chocolate male, and she recommends males over females in any colour for families with young children. We're looking for a yellow or chocolate male as a companion to Riker. (And us!)
