WAITING LIST CLOSED PENDING ARRIVAL OF PUPPIES

FTCH sired litter of health tested working labrador puppies, due mid January and ready mid March.

Please click on the dam or sire's name above in the white box to see more details about each dog. The KC COI of this litter is 5.4%, lower than the breed average of 6.6%.

Please note that due to the anticipated highly intelligent and driven nature of these puppies, pups will only be sold to working homes or active and experienced pet homes. No first time dog owners thank you.

Interested parties will be sent an application form to complete with brief details about themselves, their previous dog experience and whether they interested in a dog or bitch puppy etc. An initial short list will then be chosen and those successful contacted. Only once the litter has been born will I be able to confirm whether there will be a puppy available for those shortlisted which will then become the reserve list with a puppy sale contract being entered into and a deposit paid (refundable if I cancel the sale).

As I am having this litter to keep a puppy myself, it will not be possible to choose exactly which puppy you will have (other than a dog or bitch) before they are ready to leave at 8 weeks old. On collection, Mum can be seen with pups along with their half sister and half brother.

Due to the anticipated high demand for this litter, emails will not be responded to individually unless you are selected for the initial short list.

All puppies will be wormed, microchipped, vet health checked and receive their 1st vaccinations before leaving. Pups will not leave until they are 8 weeks old. They will come with a puppy pack which will include a sample of food, blanket or toy which smells of the litter and all paperwork including 5 generation pedigree. Owners will also be provided in advance with full details of the puppies' routine, type of food and amounts fed and any commands learnt. Puppies will be socialised with children, other dogs and sheep.

At the moment due to Covid restrictions and security, initial puppy viewing for those on the reserve list will be done via Whatsapp video calling. Those on the reserve list will also be kept fully up to date via a private whatsapp group with photos and videos of the puppies' development.

I take great pride in the puppies I raise, spending a lot of time and love on them and try to learn their individual characters to help potential owners choose a puppy. If you wish to keep in touch throughout your puppy's life or have any questions, I would be delighted to see their progress and provide support where necessary.

Thank you
