Ravv's Big Bad Lab Breeding Thread: Looking for Suggestions

[Ravvana]

Okay, we all know that it is my evil intention to corrupt the lot of you into becoming Lab fanatics

To meet this goal, I've decided to take a step back from all my breeding plans and refocus on my favorite breed: Labrador Retrievers. For the next two to three months, I'm going to be breeding Labs exclusively

Now all I need to know is this: how best to convince the rest of you to want to share the Labby love? What pairs would make you say, "Wow, I want a puppy from that breeding!" Especially if the potential adorableness of the future puppies will pursuade you to expand your current breed list to include Labs

All suggestions welcome! Thanks

[Ravvana]

Freya x Jake? the more I look at teh labs the more I like them lol

[Ravvana]

That is the plan, oh yes >D

[red_uni387]

well you're succeding with me xD

my favorite female of yours is definately Shelia

and fav. male is Jake ^^ so would like to see that pairing too

[hiyoko]

I really need a colorful female for my Casanova, so lets see. I love your collection, so many colorful dogs! The pair I would like to see is Raicheal and Jake.

Jake is actually Raicheal's grandfather; I obviously forgotten to mention Briana's parents above Raicheal XD *edits*

[hiyoko]

Darn.lol Well any male with Raicheal would be fine.

Hurley and Kady

lol Rav, you honestly have too many I adore to pick just one pairing.  Seriously, almost any pair you breed, I'd probably be interested in buying a pup from, they're just all so beautiful.

[springacres]

Wow...lotsa pretties!  xD

But my favorite pairing would have to be Jake x Casey.  I adore tricolors

[sera]

*Stares and drools* Nnnoo, i'm trying to focus on my Shepherds!  And get some Great Danes.  And Norwegian Elkhounds. xD;  Stop showing the pretty labs!  Especially Jake, Delaney, Casey, and Finola, to only name four of your gorgeous labs.  *throws balls for them*  ^^

[YourLoveOnly]

You know I wanna give into your pretty labs someday..
Especially those gorgeous spotted ones =3

Err.. pairings.. Sorta in order of preference..

Jake x Mona (unrelated spotted girl?! =D)
Hurley x Cara (preffered, but another spotted girl would also be good)
Hugh x Kera
Hugh x Shannon
Hugh x Brianna (preffered, but another spotted girl would also be good)
Jake x Casey
Doyle x Casey
Doyle x Freya
Hugh x Casey
Jake x Shannon
Jake x Freya
Hurley x Freya (brindle + merle = love)
Doyle x Mona

*falls over* xD

Liam and Lane. If you ever breed Lane, please let me know so I can stalk the litter. I'm rather partial to her considering her markings are almost an exact match to those of my cat.

Funny you say that, as she is a mimic of one of my two cats XD

[Ravvana]

I've got the suggestions narrowed down a bit

My first breeding will be Jake x Casey. Three people independently voted for that pair, and I definitely see some gorgeous puppies coming from it

My other top picks, at the moment, are:
Hurley x Cara
Hugh x Briana
Delaney x Finola
Liam x Lane

Feel free to offer more pair suggestions! However, I am also now looking for some opinions on those last four pairs mentioned. Order of preference? Suggestions? Concerns? Try me

[red_uni387]

love all those pairs so I have no order preference, but I'd really like to see Freya paired with a light male too

[hiyoko]

I do like Jake x Casey paired.

[Ravvana]

Now all I need is an XXL bed and the favor of the dice gods I like to keep two or three pups from a litter, but I also rather need to get the puppies out there XD *headdesk*

[red_uni387]

labs are a large breed?

[springacres]

ooh, I will have to be sure to snag a breeding slot this month so I have something to trade!  *lol*

[Ravvana]

labs are a large breed?

Medium. Jake also has some comp. points, but I'm not sure he has enough for a bonus puppy *goes to check*

[red_uni387]

so you'd get like 4 pups right? that's a good amount

[Math]

You know which one I like.

I'd be after a female puppy from Liam and Lane. I'll be stalking the trading forums with some SG and a tag it.

[YourLoveOnly]

I'm sending you a PM about something ^^

And of those other four pairs I am really only interested in Hurley x Cara and Hugh x Briana, but maybe the pups of the other couples will change my mind.

Mona and Hugh!
