Breeder/Trainer St Louis/Southern IL

[Dedduc]

Been out of the dog thing for a few years now and now I'm after a new pup and a good trainer. I was going to get a pup from Akins at Web Footed kennels but I'm really wanting to stay closer to home. So what trainers and breeders do I need to be looking at?

I am not familiar with any trainers in your area. The closest 2 that I could comfortably recommend would be Chris Akin at Webb Footed Kennels or Lyle Steinman at Castile Creek Kennels in Stewartsville. I would at least expand your search for the puppy itself from such a limited area and then you can narrow your search to find a good trainer in your area. Finding the best breeding possible is extremely important.

For a "different" kind of working Lab, this - http://imperialretrievers.com/ - would be worth a look and probably will be for me in the not so distant future.
