>is she already too old to train?
Oh no. I suggest this book if you don't have any experience.
I really like Tom Dokken's Retriever Training.
I think this is the best advice: start young and keep it positive and fun. When it becomes not fun, the training session is over. Short, positive training sessions throughout the day are much more effective.
Best of luck to you!
You can raise any of those 3 to be all around great dogs/retrievers if you put in the time and effort. Just be damn sure to find a reputable breeder or you'll end up with a dumb one with life long health problems. Honestly, I would check into breeders' prices and make a decision from there.
Personal experience, my buddy's black lab is the best damn retriever I've ever seen.
I know you didn't ask but I suggest getting this book if you haven't ever trained before.
