1. I see puppies for sale for $400-1500.00, WHATS UP WITH THAT??? Very reputable breeders CANNOT place a puppy for 400.00. They have done breeding clearances, have alot invested in the sire/dam/litter,vet checks, puppy shots, ultrasounds, you name it,  and all the additional expenses involved iwth a breeding- its not possible.

A puppy, in my opinion, whose parents DO NOT have breeding clearances should NOT be priced over 500.00. Ask for the clearances, If they shy away from you question with "We've never had any problems with our puppies" or "mom and dad run just fine,no problems, OR "our vet has xrayed them but we have nothing regarding it"  or something else, MOVE ON to another breeder. I have to wonder if someone is getting big bucks for a puppy, where the money is going if no clearances are done??

~ How often do you have puppies? 2-4 times per year, we do not breed our females more than once per year BUT  If we would happen to breed back to back, we let the female skip a heat season or two before breeding again. On occasion, we have a puppy for sale from a litter out of our males, the pick of litter. (please read the last FAQ on this page!!).

Coccidia, Yes and i personally do not know a breeder who hasnt, even the most well known breeders have battled this at some point or another... BUT keep in mind, a puppy can develop this when stressed out, and sometimes it happens when they go to a new home. At a recent show, this topic came up between ALOT of breeders, and ALL have experienced this at one time, that is why Albon and Corid were made!!!

16. Can we come and visit our puppy before he/she is ready to leave? ONLY if the puppies have thier first vaccines. NO EXCEPTIONS.

17. Are you a puppy mill? why several labs?? OK this is going to be a long one!! First of all, if you think by the contents of my website, that i am POSSIBLY a puppy mill, leave my site and find a puppy elsewhere. As for myself and all breeders who care about the labrador breed, this question can be VERY offensive. First of all, before one should jump to that conclusion, maybe go and spend a day with a breeder. I am out at 5-6am each morning, cleaning, watering, and feeding my labradors. During the day,  i am still cleaning, doing different things to make the labs comfortable. I spend SO much money on my labs, with vet visits, treats, toys, fencing, and much much more. I KEEP blisters on my hands where i work out with these guys, doing this that and the other. My labs have ONE on ONE attention, not forgotten about. They are ALL very social, you can see in their eyes, they are are loved, and give that back. NOW, someone who operates a "puppy mill" does not care what they breed, they get a cheap dog out of the paper and do not care about its lines.They do not care about the dog at all, they just want to sell puppies. They do not have a clue what is in the pedigrees, they do not care to order them, or research them. They do not care to take the dog to the vet and have its proper clearances before breeding. I have spent ALOT of money on the labs i have, i make sure they come from good breeders, who care about them as i do. I went, a few years back, to what i DO call a puppy mill down next to Tennessee with a friend of mine, these people had over 400 dogs, yes 400. They were SOOO scared, they were all together in small pens, the look in their eyes, were just horrible, it was so very sad, they were unclean, they had no hope left, their eyes told me. THANK GOD the humane society, i found out after that, shut these people down, and found homes for the dogs they could, but ALOT of them were put to sleep. Good breeders work hard, they really do, and they care about what they have, I LOVE MY LABS, and honestly, i take care of the crew i have better than most people who have one dog. We do not chain our dogs, we do not have them in small cages. If i were to ever get to the place where my labradors could not be taken care of as they need to be, then i would not keep them, it wouldnt be fair. Labs have big hearts, and for anyone to abuse, neglect, or not love one, they do not need them~~ 

18. Do you place puppies for Christmas gifts? NO a puppy is not a toy or a spur of the moment gift.A puppy cannot be thrown in a toy box.  I think people are desperate by putting "just in time for Christmas" in ads, etc. I am a busy person at Christmas and during the New Year, running back and forth, i do not want my puppies left alone during such a busy time. If we have a litter that is ready AT christmas and a family has a dep. down before, then MAYBE the puppy can go home in December. Theyve had plenty of time to prepare for the new arrival and KNOW beforehand they are getting a puppy...
