It is typically a bad idea to raise two puppies at the same time.

I have a pup from chopper that have not been washed out yet by my pro, do that count? My pro is already talking about getting derby points when I got my progress report on my pup. I hope he is not just building me up to get me off his case. I'm just glad that he has not sent him back as a reject :) FYI, he is my avatar pic

Thanks Susan, I'm really trying to play it down but deep inside I'm proud of my knucklehead that he survived this far. But again, its still too early if my pup is really going anywhere. No matter what happen, he will always going to be my pup. Thanks Again, it always a pleasure to hear about my knucklehead

Just in case I hit my head and my wife for unknown reason let me get another pup, what is a good seperation age between two pups?

I'm very "top heavy" in the 5-6 year old range, so I waited until the youngest was 4 to get Ruckus.... (part of which was Denise's doing). So, I would say when Pick is 2-4 years old... because if you're going to remain competitive and sane, you've got to keep a pipeline. If you have unlimited funds get as many as you want. If you only want about 2 trial dogs at a time, then 2-4 years old.

Labs are like Lays Potato chips.... you can't have just one.... :)

FYI to everybody who is interested of a chopper's pup w/ a strong bitch line, Denise Zimmerman is repeating Susan and my pups breeding due to overwhelming request. PM me for her number

I also have a Chopper/Tequlia Sunrise pup that we are very pleased with. Pink just turned 11 months; we ran her in our last two trials this year. She finished both trials with jams. We were very happy both trails were large derbies and she was only 10 months at the time. We live in the Pacific Northwest and we are seeing a lot of nice Copper pups coming up now. I think the next couple of years will determine how well they transition into all age stakes. The last two trials we ran were Spokane,Wa and Connell,Wa and there were at least 10 to 15 Chopper pups entered in each derby.

I am pretty new to the retriever game but let me ask something. How many titled dogs have Chopper and Patton produced? Patton is a good bit older than Chopper. Has Patton been bred much? How about Chopper? I am under the impression that Chopper has "passed on his genes" better than Patton. Is this true? If so, why wouldn't you pick the Chopper pup?

Chopper's oldest pups just turned 2 in Nov I think, so no titles yet for his but lots of derby points and potential.
And I think Patton's offspring are young also. Not sure about him.

Thru 2006 Chopper has yet to place any pups on the derby list and thru the end of Aug. none yet this year. Little premature to say "lots of derby points" The pups are young.

Thru 2006 Patton has 7 pups on the derby list.

Thru 2006 Choppers pups were too young but I will bank on seeing "lot of derby points" coming from Chopper offspring for 2007.
I myself prefer Patton over Chopper but I cant deny what I have been seeing all summer and fall from the pups around here. Myself and a few others have the only Patton offspring in this area but there are oodles of Chopper pups.
