Default Unexplored Territory - Need a Pattern
I never thought I'd request a pattern. I'm a stickler for developing my own, but I'm a bird carver and my dogs just don't look right.

My grandson lost a beloved yellow Labrador retriever this morning and I would like to give him a tribute. Does anyone have a lab pattern? I want/need to get to this quickly.

Since you have developed you own patterns in the past, just continue to do so. Go to Google.com, enter "yellow Labrador retriever" in the search field, then click on Images in the upper left corner. That's how I did my bloodhound.

Here's a link to Gordon Stillers Patterns, with several labs on it.

Gordon Stiller Wildlife Patterns - Pictorial Catalog - Page 27 - Animals - StillerPatterns.com

Good luck, and give your grandson my sympathy, I just lost my 5 year old Golden Retriever Dakota a month ago. I find people don't know how attached to there pets they really are until something happens. Good luck with the carving.

Geoff... How talented are you as far as being able to modify an existing pattern? I've got a hound dog that could be readily altered to a lab with very little effort if you want it. Send me a PM with your regular email address.
