I tried to PM you back but not sure what it did not allow me too. Think it said I needed more posts. Exactly where are you located in Ohio, we are around the Van Wert area. I am seriously thinking about getting him chipped SOON before he goes back to the trainers but not sure what brand or whatever to use. Sorry I did not respond sooner, still learning how to use the forum. And green to the retriever world. Thanks again, Guy Schmersal
