Yep. We're on Pawley's Island with friends this week, and while the waves aren't big now I'd say they are bigger than normal. Expect to see some more increase tomorrow and Wednesday the peak - but nowhere near what they'll see at OBX.

Yes, there is a connection. Milner sold that kennel in Oxford MS to Mike Stewart, a retired police officer from that area. Mike developed and marketed it into a pretty well-known name in US British Lab circles. Mike took a lot of British methods, some American, some Milner, and created his...

Nice!!

Big day!

Not in the NE so would be a drive for pick-up, but I got my lab at Wildrose Carolinas. Smaller British labs (50-60 lb range), which I wanted. I went and trained with them and their other dogs a lot for about 7 months, and still go up with my dog (2 yo) every 4-6 weeks. Have been very...

Have shot several in NC over the years (great eating) while duck hunting. My observation in the Outer Banks was that they responded extremely well to calling. The blinds I hunted rarely put out swan decoys, but if anyone could make a sound remotely like a swan they'd come into any spread...

Those are fantastic. I'm need to figure out how to get in line.

The flip was pretty simple with 4, the hardest part was the weight distribution in flipping. But quite light to lift and hold.
