I read the title and thought, oh crap. So I say, oh crap!!!! OK, first you were getting Gilligan, then the female (Mary Anne??), then both you and the "breeders" thought Gilligan would actually be better for you, now they want to keep him?!?!?!?!?

Sounds very wishy-washy to me. So now as far as they're concerned you're just out of a dog, after waiting, visiting....an
d endless pictures they have the gaul to say, "you know....we just can't part with him. Sorry" I certainly hope you didn't give them a down payment and if you did that money had better be in your hands right now!!! Oh, I am so livid for you!!!!!
OK, deep breath.....As for the lab, not much of a lab person here either. My friends have them, they're great, I just don't want one. ZooCrew makes a good point, don't jump at a puppy just because it's there and you've been waiting for one. Take a step back and really think about what you want. Take your time, there are plenty of babies out there. Good Luck!!
