Purchasing a puppy
Labradors make wonderful family dogs, but they are very energetic their first couple of years. Please do some research on the breed before purchasing a puppy. What might seem like a near-term Christmas present for the kids, is in reality a long-term commitment to having a dog.
We are asking $2000 for a puppy (and half of that will be donated to charity*). The puppies will have received wormer, their first round of shots, and started on a quality large-breed dry puppy food. We will also provide the paperwork for full AKC registration. The pups will be available for pickup between 12/16-12/23.
We are asking for a $400 deposit. The deposit will permit you to choose the gender (at the time of the deposit) and the specific puppy from that gender at week 7. The deposit is a commitment. If you decide later you simply don’t want a puppy, the deposit is forfeited.
Picks will be made in the order the deposits are received.
