Hi Michelle,
Apparently we changed the dog's name from River to Hudson a while back! There are so many times I must refrain from calling you to let you know how ecstatic we are about the pup! So far, he has exceeded our expectations in so many ways. His proportions from head to toe are impeccable and his temperament is as good as it gets. We literally have people stopping in their tracks wherever we go to look at him, then they marvel at how wonderfully calm he is for a pup not even 4months old! And this scenario happens daily with this dog. He has so many of the wonderful traits that our last Lab had and at such an early age. My husband and I are constantly enamored by him and saying to each other how lucky we are to have him. When we take, our off road walks he stays right with me like he has been part of the family for years (my new best friend)! His maturity level regarding behavior (aside from the chewing) is that of an older dog and that has us and others in awe as well. Michelle, we truly could not be any happier and are so glad we not only waited for an Ocean Spray lab but feel incredibly lucky to have one of Rose's and Rocky's pups.
If you are to ever visit Cape Cod we would love for you to meet him one day. Or if you have any potential buyers in the area that are unfamiliar with your labs we would be more than happy to have them meet Hudson if that would be helpful. I know I am rambling and this is why I haven't bothered you with a phone call.
Sincerely,
