The Whelping Box

Health is extremely important to us. Each of our puppies originates from parents that undergo thorough health testing that aligns with the Labrador Retriever Club recommendations. Prior to breeding, our personal breeding dogs attain their CHIC certification through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. Our puppies come with a strict contract, extensive health guarantee, and current health records from a veterinarian. Puppies undergo vet checks, receive age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, AKC microchipping, and are granted AKC limited registration before transitioning to their new homes. To facilitate a smooth start, all puppies are sent home with 30 days of free AKC health insurance, 35% off Royal Canin coupon, and puppy go home bags. Our go home tote bags include a beginner bag of Royal Canin Labrador food, Nature's Pharmacy Supplements, puppy safe toys, a binder, familiar blankets, puppy training tools, AKC reunite ID tag, 4 generation pedigree and more. 

​

Each of our litters undergo a structured regimen of socialization and desensitization, guided by the Avidog puppy rearing program. We implement Avidog protocols throughout their entire puppyhood.

The Avidog program integrates scientifically backed methods to optimize the cognitive, emotional, and physical development of each individual puppy. You will see us use early neurological stimulation, early scent introduction, Avidog evaluation tests, and more. This protocol ensures that our puppies receive the best possible foundation to set them up for success. All of our puppies are raised in our home always. They live life with us, and are hand raised right in our living room. They play with our other dogs, romp around the yard, and are a cherished part of our family. We don't have litters often to ensure that we can devote our full attention, care, and love to each hand raised litter. 

​

All of our dogs and puppies are fed Royal Canin Labrador Retriever formula, which is specifically designed to meet the needs of our breed. Labradors require a carefully managed diet to support healthy weight, joint integrity, skin and coat condition, and overall longevity. This diet is tailored specifically for the Labrador, and we have had great success with this food.

​

For canine supplements, we highly recommend products from Nature's Farmacy Dogzymes. They offer a wide variety of targeted supplements designed for many different needs. We have had excellent results using their probiotic paste for puppies and adult dogs experiencing digestive upset. We will send you home with a sample bag of Dogzymes supplements which includes hip and joint support, prebiotics, probiotics, and coat care. Click here for a $5 off Nature's Farmacy coupon.

It is important to note that our puppies are exclusively sold with limited registration and do not come with breeding rights. In an event you can no longer keep or care for your puppy, they must be returned to us. This is a STRICT policy and contract enforced.
