I'm possibly in the market for a pup, but if I do take the plunge I want to try and weed the possibility of winding up with a pup that whines. Can anyone shed some light on this, and maybe point me in the direction I need to go? If there are any dogs that had a rep of being noisy I would like to know as well. Thanks if anyone can help.
Whining-genetic?

This thread had me going for a second........I really thought we were talking about whiny dogs not people!!!
I do know a couple of things though:
1st - If you do end up with a dog who has a noise issue Randy Bohn is the man you need to talk to.
2nd - If I post a question on here, one person I would want to reply is EdA.

I have a Painter major motion daughter to a cosmo daughter she is a quiet dog!! Until she goes for a period of time with out birds. In the house she is always quiet. I think a lot of it can be controlled. Like with her she needs birds often and as a field bred lab, that is obviously to be expected. I do think they can learn from others to be barkers.

Dr. Ed is far from a legend and older than he wishes but glad he is here and healthy......and hopes to be around a lot longer
Lanse Is A Legend.......I am just someone who has been around awhile and is fortunate to have shared my space with some great dogs and great people

And in which way does your post address "somebody's issue"?
If you bother to look back through the thread you might notice that Ed Aycock DVM (Trumark Labradors) was the first poster in this thread to actually hint at the source of the problem. (you just need to learn to keep up with what is being said boy) EdA's response that seems to have so mightily offended you was in direct response to what someone else asked.
BTW, this site does have a very pretty moderator who's job it is to do what you seem to think you need to take upon yourself.

Get used to it. That is the culture of RTF to make commentary on commentary or GDG a thread. For some perverse reason we love it.

Wow. Quizz came in guns a blazin', huh?
Welcome to RTF, Quizz. It might serve you better to just sit back an listen for a while and get the lay of the land before you start blasting. There's lots to learn here and a lot of great people to meet. I can guarantee that you will benefit from frequenting this site if you take the time to figure out how to seperate the wheat from the chaff. Just a suggestion.
Or to quote Sgt. Hulka, "lighten up, Francis".

I'm the short moderator, so I assume Vicky is the pretty onetom said:
I'm pretty darn sure Dr. Ed don't need us moderators to jump in the middle of this.....he's a big boy who can take care of himself....
Besides it looks like the RTFers are welcoming quizz just fine
self moderation is a wonderful thing....

The legend we speak of in this case is Dr. Ed. His experience in the DVM field has personnally helped myself and numerous other people, when our local vets were having a hard diagonosing a specific problem. His advise and medical expertise helped me save money and with my vet helped solve a serious problem. You might want to tone down your Opinion or hard charging attitude. You will one day need a vets help or medical experience. You had better hope Dr. Ed will still have the patience for you and offer some incredible advice to save your best hunting buddy. Just saying. A burnt bridge is hard for many to cross back over......
