Question: What breed of dog did Eddie Bauer introduce as his new hunting partner in 1930?
Answer: A black lab. Bauer, whose Washington-based outdoor store chain once operated more than 600 stores in Canada and the U.S., including many locations in Georgia, was an avid outdoorsman. In 1930, he brought the dog back to his home state of Washington from a trip in Canada, believed to be the first black lab ever in Washington state.
