We usually have AKC Labrador Retriever Puppies available in all 3 colors ~ Black, Chocolate, and Yellow. Occasionally we will have a "fox red" yellow and a very light cream (creamy white) yellow. The puppies will have their dewclaws removed between 2 - 5 days old, receive their first "puppy shots" at 6 weeks old, and be wormed twice before going to their new homes. We normally let the puppies go to their new homes between the age of 7 - 8 weeks old.
The puppy will come with an AKC Dog Registration Application, a Health Record of vaccination(s) and dewormings, a 12 month Health Guarantee, and a 26 month Hip Guarantee for hip dysplasia. Both of these guarantees begin at the puppies date of birth. Also, you receive a "puppy pack" consisting of puppy food, treats, a tennis ball, and chew toys. The puppies are family raised and get lots of TLC. They are well socialized and are introduced to new surroundings both indoors and outdoors every day.
To be placed on the waiting list for future litters .... please email me at slk-brlabs@hotmail.com or call me at 507-951-1506
Prices on puppies can vary with each litter. Generally Blacks and Yellows are priced at $500; Chocolates are priced at $600 ... those are our minimum prices on puppies. The price is applied to both males and females. Please contact me for the exact price on a specific litter as it may be slightly higher on some litters.
To reserve a puppy of your choice we ask for a deposit in the amount of $100.
Deposits on puppies are accepted right after the puppies are born. Those on the waiting list will be contacted first and be given the opportunity to reserve a puppy in the form of a deposit check. Deposit checks from those on the waiting list must be received on or before the puppies are 10 days old. Choosing a puppy goes in the order of the waiting list (secured deposits) ... if all the puppies are not reserved at that time then the remainder puppies will be chosen in the order the deposit check is received and will be added below those on the waiting list with secured deposits. Families or individuals with a deposit on a puppy are required to choose their puppy at 4 weeks of age to avoid losing your picking / choosing spot. We prefer this to be done in person ... that way you can meet the puppies as well as their parents. As breeders, it gives us a chance to meet with the puppy's new family before they are able to go home with you & we can answer any additional questions you may have concerning the puppy. If you see a puppy you would like to reserve before 4 weeks of age that is fine as well. The picking / choosing date may be extended for a few days ... only if the puppies are born mid-week like on a Wednesday. The 4 week old picking / choosing date gives families / individuals the opportunity to watch their puppy grow over the next 2 - 3 weeks.
Please note : Deposits are nonrefundable at 5 weeks of age and thereafter on a reserved puppy ... the reason being that a deposit is a contract between breeder and purchaser where as the purchaser is committing to buying / adopting a puppy of their choice and the breeder (seller) is commited to placing the puppy as reserved and will not sell it to anyone else. In cases where an emergency would happen a full deposit refund will be granted on reserved puppies of 5 weeks and thereafter. Nonrefundable deposits can also be applied to a future litter.
Visitation policy : Visits in person (by appointment only) are welcome when the puppies turn 3 weeks old and anytime after that. Once you have chosen your puppy & if you live in close driving distance from our place ... you are welcome to visit your puppy as many times as you wish to by appointment only. In the past we have had individuals or families visit their puppy once or even twice per week. We strongly encourage these visits as it gives new puppy families the chance to bond with their new puppy before they actually take their puppy home with them. Puppies will recognize a person & the sound of their voice at an early age.
