Q. How do I put a hold & deposit on a puppy?

A. Puppies are chosen in the order we receive deposits. Contact us regarding what litter, gender, color you are interested in & we can let you know where you would be in the picking order. Our litters are usually spoken for even before birth so it's important to get your deposit in ASAP so that when the pups are born you have first choice at what you're looking for. Deposits are for half of the cost of the puppy you choose, the remainder due on delivery day. For detailed info on your deposit & what happens if your preference of puppy is not born in a particular litter, please see our "Puppy contract and health guarantee" on our website here. We accept Zelle or Venmo for deposits. 

 

Q. Are your dogs heart, hip, elbow & eye certified?

A. Yes. Our dogs have an impressive linage & their parents & down lines are OFA hips, elbows & eye certified, rating Good & Excellent.

 

Q. Where are the puppies & how can I see them?

A. We have two homes, one is Southern California & the other in Northern Arizona (Calizona😊). Our dogs live in the lap of luxury in the country on 56 acres in AZ, they freely roam, play, chase birds & whelp their litters. Over the past 17 years we have mainly sold to CA families due to how rural we are here in AZ, much of our family, friends, work & network are all in CA which is where word of mouth about our beautiful labs spread. You are always welcome to make a trip out here to see the puppies but if that is not possible we make you feel apart of the process from birth until your puppy comes home to you. I post pictures & videos on our Facebook page daily. Most families do not pick their baby until around week 2-3, after their eyes open & they start to really look like puppies. You will see pictures & video of their every milestone from birth to opening their eyes, taking their first steps, hearing their first growls, eating their first puppy food to getting their first bath. Their lil sweet lives are documented from the very beginning first breath to going home to you. You will feel like you know your baby even before you meet. Some people feel the need to meet a puppy to know its temperament but with labs you cannot go wrong. They ALL are well tempered, loving, highly intelligent & easily trained. We do not allow home visits until 6 weeks old to protect puppies health, & at no time are other dogs allowed on our property. 

 

Q. When will my puppy be ready to come home?

A. Between 7-8 weeks old

 

Q. Will my puppy have his/her first shots?

A. Yes, at 7-8 weeks old. We are holistic breeders & understand the science & dangers of vaccinating puppies too early. We highly recommend you find a Holistic Vet, who will follow a holistic vaccine schedule, that gives vaccines individually & spread out over a longer period of time. I am happy to provide you the research, peer-reviewed studies & any info to help you make this very important health decision for your puppy. 

📣  Update! As of October 1st, 2023, we will no longer be vaccinating puppies. The science is too conclusive to any longer deny its validity, & we won't put a single puppies life in danger because of out-dated, fear-mongering, false & fact-less info. Please refer to the tab "Puppy Vaccinations & Why We Don't Do Them" for more information. 

Your puppy will be given a 5 in 1 (DLPPCV) vaccine that covers:

D... Canine Distemper 

L... Leptospirosis 

P... Parainfluenza 

P... Parvovirus 

Cv... Coronavirus 

The puppies are also all dewormed but we do not remove declaws.

 

Q. When will my puppy need his/her next vaccinations?

A. You will need to follow up with your vet or administer your puppies next shots at the following times {this is a traditional vaccine schedule}:

9 weeks of age: Administer second combination vaccine.

12 weeks of age: Administer the third combination injection and possibly a lyme vaccine inoculation. Generally a lyme vaccine is repeated two weeks later, then once a year.

16 weeks of age: Adminster the last combination vaccine.

No earlier than 6 months old for rabies.

A holistic vaccine schedule will not begin until 12 weeks old. 

 

Q. When & how do I pay the second half of payment for the puppy? 

A. The remainder owed on your puppy can be paid at any time or at the time of pick-up/delivery.

 

Q. If I live in CA how do I get my puppy?

A. I will bring the puppy to CA, that is included in the price of your puppy, no additional cost. Closer to the time of when your puppies are ready. We meet our families same day, same time, same location. We have driven puppies to Las Vegas, Laughlin, between AZ & CA along my route, Lake Havasu, Palm Springs to Orange County, Carlsbad, Riverside, Lake Elsinore, San Diego & LA areas. If you live in any other area please contact me & we may be able to accommodate you. Arizona families will be asked to pick their puppy up from our home or at a predetermined location. We do not ship our puppies but we have a flight nanny that will fly with your puppy. Inquire with us about the cost of that service. 

 

Q. What will my puppy come home with?

A. At the time of delivery, your puppy will come with his/her AKC registration papers. Their first series of vaccinations & deworming. I keep in close contact with our puppy families throughout the process so you will be told ahead of time what food to purchase for your puppy that we will be feeding them. Instructions on how to ween them to another food of your choice if you so choose, information on potty training & crate training. Please see our tab on our website labeled "Natural Feeding" our pups eat at least 50% real food, as well as kibble so our families have the choice on which they'll feed going forward. 

We do not remove dew claws. More peer-reviewed science that dictates this is best for their long term health & prevents severe disability later in life.
