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, and puppy go home packs. Our go home packs include a beginner bag of Purina Pro Plan food, toys, a binder, blankets, training tools, 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 methodologies 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 framework 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. 

​

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.
