​
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN BREEDING LABS?
We produced our first litter in November 2017.
​
ARE YOUR DOGS AND PUPPIES AKC?
All our dogs are AKC registered. Each litter is registered about a week after its born. Individual registrations are released to families when I receive proof that your puppy has been spayed/neutered.
​
DO YOU REMOVE DEW CLAWS?
Yes. We realize there is some controversy surrounding this, but we believe it is best to remove the dew claws. This is done 2 days after pups are born.
​
ARE YOUR PUPPIES VET-CHECKED?
Yes. Our vet comes here to examine the puppies, this is much safer than transporting them to the clinic. Each puppy is thoroughly examined from nose to tail around 7 weeks of age.
​
HOW MUCH ARE YOUR PUPPIES?
Our puppies are priced at $1400, regardless of color or gender. A $300 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a puppy/be added to the Wait List.
​
DO YOU BREED SILVER AND/OR CHARCOAL LABS?
No. We breed the three standard colors as recognized by the AKC - black, chocolate and yellow. Shades of yellow vary greatly, from very light (sometimes called white or cream) to very dark (called fox red).
​
DO YOUR PUPPIES GET ANY SHOTS?
Yes, they receive a vaccine at 6 1/2- 7 weeks. We administer Duramune Max5 (Canine Distemper-Adenovirus Type 2-Parainfluenza-Parvovirus Vaccine). This first dose doesn't provide any real immunity, but serves as a "wake-up call" to the young immune system, preparing it to accept the next dose 2-3 weeks later. Your puppy will need a total of 4 doses to be fully protected. Some vets recommend a total of 5 doses for maximum protection.
​
ARE YOUR PUPPIES DEWORMED?
Yes. They are treated with Pyrantel Pamoate at 2 weeks and 4 weeks, then with Fenbendazole for 3 days at 6 weeks and 8 weeks.
​
DO YOU SHIP PUPPIES TO OTHER STATES?
No. For the safety of our puppies, their families are required to pick them up here in person.
