Lot #18 - Where Young Cabs Get Softer & Soft Labs Get Bigger
The Lab & The Cab
Small format: one chocolate color Labrador puppy for a good home
Large format: one 6-Liter Silver Oak 2004 Alexander Cabernet to a good cellar
Framed format: New Yorker dog cartoon signed by cartoonist David Sipress
Oh, sure...we could have dropped in a photo right here of
a Labrador puppy and played on the "cute" angle, especially
if its tongue were hanging out. Or instead, we could have
included a photo of a 6-Liter Silver Oak Alexander Cab
here, and maybe your tongue would hang out.
Both the Lab and the Cab have a pedigree and both will
bring endless pleasure. As for the Silver Oak, it's a 2004
Alexander Valley Cabernet, known for its consistently solid
performance before the most discerning wine critics. In
this one bottle you've got eight bottles of partying waiting
to happen! Nothing cute about this one: just big, bold and
wonderfully elegant.
As for the cute one, the Labrador was born July 12th at the
home of a breeder living in the farmlands outside Chicago.
Interviewed by a dog savvy volunteer auction consultant,
subsequently, the breeder was visited and the puppy selected
to be hand-carried to the West Coast.
This breeder wants you to know that she takes pride
in raising American Kennel Club registered Labrador
Retrievers (full papers) in a natural setting, on the family
farm where the puppies have been handled and loved
by children since the day they were born, to ensure a
temperament worthy of joining your family.
The little guy you are bidding on (yes, it's a male) weighed
1lb. at birth. At full weight, it will tip the scale at about
65lbs. But right now, at about 12lbs, this high energy
little guy is curious as can be, with a puppy intellect way
beyond its doggy years! If you believe you offer a good
home and a family willing to show some puppy love, then
raise that paddle.
And just for fun, as long as we're on the dog theme, this
lot includes a framed original print of a New Yorker dog
cartoon, signed by cartoonist David Sipress — just another
smile to add to the ones already caused by thinking about
your new Lab and Cab.
