Older Puppies and Adults

  • Occasionally, we have older puppies and adults for placement in loving homes.

  • Please note that just because a puppy is available as a pet does not mean the puppy is substandard in any way!
    Not every puppy is destined for the show ring, but every puppy can definitely be loved and give love!

  • All are crate trained, leash trained and most are house trained.

  • A NOTE ABOUT NON RECOGNIZED LABRADOR COLORS (AND MIXES):

    We do not support breeding for traits not recognized in the breed standard; including silver, champagne or blue Labradors, not to mention various mixed breeds (Labradoodles).

    These fads are being promoted by non-ethical kennels, typically looking to make money with no regard for long term goals in their programs.  They breed for the now, using the Labrador’s reputation to entice interest and sales.   Spinning tales and exaggerating facts such as promoting non-allergenic puppies or “best of both breeds”; even the statement of silver being a rare color is incorrect, since they’re easily found.

    The only recognized colors are black, yellow and chocolate. Registering a non-recognized color or dilute color, such as silver, as a recognized color does not make it so. Example silver is registered as chocolate. According to the AKC Labrador standard however, it is a disqualification. We cannot advise strongly enough such colors are frowned on for valid reasons by those of us who remain committed to preserving the breed.  For example with the dilute gene there is often poor or no pigment which can cause skin cancer in an active outdoor dog. Genetics is a complicated topic and many articles have been written on it but suffice it to say there are many positive attributes to purebreds that do not follow through mixing breeds.  Puppy mills are very good at selling their ideas and therefore their wares, so buyer needs to be aware.
