With over 30 years of experience as a qualified vet, I have worked in various practices as well as running my own. Throughout my career I have bred several litters - I am now retired which has given me the chance to breed from my own Chocolate Labradors. Ruby is our 4 year old Chocolate Labrador and is expecting her second litter in mid-January. We also have Pippa, one of Ruby’s daughters from her litter in 2019.
Ruby is calm, affectionate and a wonderful mother to her puppies. The puppies will be raised in our family home in the Suffolk countryside alongside Ruby and Pippa - they will be well-socialised and become used to the general hubbub around the house.
The stud dog (pictured), Naiken Elite Envoy (A.I.), is 3 years old. He has a Junior Warrant, and is an Irish Junior Champion and now also a Show Champion. With 26 champions in his 5 generation pedigree, he was an obvious choice of stud dog for the puppies.
Please get in contact to express your interest. I will be keeping a list before getting in touch with all applicants once the puppies are born. For successful applicants a first visit is usually arranged when the puppy is 3 weeks old and at that point a non-refundable deposit of £200 will be required. Depending on government restrictions, these meetings can be arranged via Zoom or Microsoft Teams if necessary. At 8 weeks old, the puppies will be ready to go to their new homes. They will each be Kennel Club registered, microchipped, have 5 weeks of free Kennel Club insurance and will have been wormed. I will also set up a private group for the new owners for ongoing support and updates.
***DUE TO HIGH DEMAND, WE HAVE DECIDED TO CLOSE THE PRIMARY WAITING LIST. PLEASE CONTINUE TO REGISTER YOUR INTEREST AND YOU WILL BE ADDED ONTO THE RESERVE WAITING LIST. THANK YOU.***
