Our puppies are ready for new homes starting at 7 weeks. By that time they have been vet checked twice, have been dewormed, and have had current vaccinations. All our puppies go to new homes with:
*puppy training kit including literature full of tips on raising a lab
*AKC registration If you are buying a puppy with the intention to breed, we require you to get the following health clearances: OFA rating of either GOOD or EXCELLENT, OFA elbows NORMAL, eye CERF clear of retinitus or glaucoma, and noncarrier of EIC. If you obtain DVM and AKC acceptable results on the above, we will remove the AKC Limited Registration and convert the registration to unlimited. We will take care of that cost. (We are doing this to further preserve the overall high quality integrity of the Labrador Retriever.)
*36 month hip/eye/elbow guarantee
*vaccination record
*towel with mom and littermates' scents for a smooth transition
*micro-chipping is available for an extra $35.00. We do Home Again Microchip Implants (smaller than a grain of rice) in case your dog is lost or stolen. The microchipping is done in front of you when we are finalizing all the AKC required registration paperwork. We want you to see where the microchip is physically placed. We scan the syringe for the chip. After insertion, your puppy is scanned to prove the implanting process was successful.
From the moment of conception, we have the pups' well-being in mind. The mother is on a high protein diet for good puppy development. Our pups are born right in our home. Within the first few days, our vet removes the dewclaws and inspects each puppy. From the very beginning we handle the pups and have as many visitors as possible to aid in their socialization. As the puppies grow they are exposed to vacuum
cleaners, banging pots, crates, car rides, and a radio. For the future hunters,
we introduce pheasant wings, water (weather permitting), and we hold
squeaky toys overhead so they become accustomed to looking up. We want
them to become well adjusted to as many situations as possible while they
still feel the comfort of mom and the others in the litter. All of our puppies
come with a 36 month hip/eye/elbow guarantee. If anything should
genetically go wrong with the pup's hips, elbows, or eyes within the first 3
years, we'll refund the full purchase price and the owner gets to keep the dog. References from previous puppy buyers and pedigrees are available upon request.
Puppy Page
By 6 weeks, (below) pups have had many different kinds of surfaces to run and play on including stairs, carpet, linoleum, concrete, and water or snow depending on the season!
Our "Onyx" has a litter of 10 chocolates and blacks that were born August 11. Puppies from this litter will be ready for new homes starting September 29. This is a repeat breeding with "Reuben." These puppies should be a combination of all lab worlds: confirmation, hunting, and field. They have the pedigree to prove it! These pups should be calm, intelligent, eager to please, and easy on the eyes. They should have a thicker, blockier body type with weights ranging from 70 - almost 90 lbs (males). These puppies will make excellent companion and family dogs, but will be able to flip the switch if needed for hunting. We are now accepting deposits (50%). The order deposits are received determines picking order. If you have any questions or want more information, please contact us.
"Hogan" (above) is a male from our last Onyx X Reuben litter. He is 8 months here and weighed 75 lbs.
