Selecting a Pointing Lab Member of the Internet Link Exchange Selecting a Pointing Lab Before entering the pointing Lab market, it's wise to consider the options regarding the dog's age and degree of training. Truly finished dogs are rarely offered for sale. Occasionally, a good one goes on the block because of the owner's health, a move, etc. Professional trainers normally find the return less than the expense of keeping a dog the two or three years necessary to reach the finished stage.
Many people prefer young puppies and are willing to accept the inherent risks involved.
Reputable breeders guarantee the immediate health of their puppies, plus, sound hip and eyes for varying periods of time, usually two years. They cannot, for obvious reasons, guarantee training results, protection against disease and accidents, or other negatives beyond their control. The shades of yellow can vary from a deep fox red to light cream. Naturally, the lighter colors are more resistant to the effects of direct sunlight. The best advice for color choice is to stick with personal preference.
