@majorcatfish,

Buccleuch Avon, considered to be the ancestor of all modern Labrador Retrievers (at least, that's the little story I've seen ;)), 1895.

My favorite all time breed! :love I've had three Labs and Lab mix dogs so far and each one was and are simply amazing animals. Smart, loyal, hard working, hardy to the max, brave to a fault and the sweetest dogs ever.

When ol' Jake needs replacing, I'll be getting another Lab.

I was curious about the name.

Here's a little something Google turned up:

Buccleuch gundogs.

Imagine, being involved from the beginning. (But, I forget. It goes king, queen, jack ... how does earl and duke fit in ..?)

Not to Hijack but Milo stopped in for a visit this week. New owner says she can't believe how lucky she was to get him, he is prefect dog.
Thanks for the update, you did good finding him the PERFECT Forever Home. :)
