As Labrador Breeders, outstanding working dogs are our passion. Our focus is breeding willing and stylish gun dogs that are intense in the field, yet quiet at home with the family. We strive for athletic dogs, that train and perform with excellence, with health clearance to support a long and healthy life. We believe in producing classic working labs from the best of today's performance pedigrees.
Breeding Philosophy: Our dogs come from exceptional American field trial and hunt test bloodlines, including national titles in all venues. Our dogs not only hunt for us, but we have proven their abilities and talent by earning some of the top retriever titles available in the hunt test arenas. When planning a breeding, we search for top field titled stud dogs, with pedigrees that back up their accomplishments and drive. Having personally trained each of our retrievers equips us with intimate knowledge of each dog's strengths, weaknesses, and abilities, and supports us in finding the perfect cross for each female. In regards to size, we intend to produce a medium sized retriever averaging in the 55-75 lb range.
Placing our pups in
working hunt test or gun dog homes is important to us. If you are
purchasing solely as a pet, you need to be fully aware that these pups
are bred to be energetic working dogs, and while they are great with
people, these pups will need a job to do daily and an outlet for their
energy. In other words, you should expect a busy pup with energy
that will need time and extensive training.
From planning and preparations, to puppy-rearing and finding good homes, each litter is an investment of our time, and we go to great lengths to provide you with the happy and healthy pup you're looking for. We are on call at all times should you have questions or concerns along the way. We'd love to keep contact with you after you've taken your new puppy home as well, so that we too can share in the joy of watching them achieve greatness at home and in the field. Email them to us, or post them on our Facebook page!
Guarantee: Our puppies come with a 26 Month written Hip, and Eye Guarantee, 1st shots, vet checked, AKC and/or UKC registration applications, and current on their deworming.
Reservation: To reserve a puppy, we require a $200 deposit which is non-refundable. We accept payment online via Paypal, or through regular mail by Money Order or Cashiers Check. Cash only at pickup, or online payment with Paypal prior to pickup day.
Shipping: We highly recommend ground delivery services like The Gundog Express. The cost is dependent on their availability and schedule, and as you can understand, there is a wide range depending on your location. As of this year, deliveries generally range around $350 in the Midwest, rising to $600-$800 going to the west coast or deep south.
Pickup: When each litter is born, we will select a pick up date approximately 7 weeks from then that each of the pups will need to be picked up on. If you are unable to come on that particular date, or if your pup will be shipped, then the pup will be chosen for you based on the specifications that you are looking for in your pup. You may pick your puppy up at a later arranged time.
Regarding Silver Labs: We do not support Silver labradors, and will not knowingly sell our dogs or puppies to anyone associated with or supportive of silver labrador breeding.
