PUPPIES FOR SALE
We take pride in producing the highest quality American Labs possible. To ensure we are selling the best American Labradors available, we take extended amounts of time planning our breedings around multiple factors. For example, one measure we take is ensuring we pair dogs together based on their health results, eliminating the chance of our pups being affected by any recessive genes. We also wait until dogs are two years old to breed to ensure they poses the intelligence and instincts we desire. We are so confident in our breeding decisions that we offer a 24-month health guarantee. Due to this rigorous process, we have very few litters a year, causing availability to become limited. This is a sacrifice we are willing to take to ensure our customers are satisfied with each and every dog they purchase. Our number one goal is to breed dogs that we would utilize ourselves as hunting dogs and family pets.
WE HAVE PUPPIES FOR SALE!
PUPPY SELECTION PROCESS
When we complete our annual breeding schedule, we post our plans online and then pre-sale six puppies out of each litter-limited to three males and three females. We also maintain a standby list; whereby, clients can pay a deposit with the understanding that their position on the list and the size and color of the litter will ultimately determine if they get a puppy. After the litter is born, we wait a few days before contacting those on the standby list. We then offer the remaining pups to those on the standby list.
It goes without saying that some litters will be a mix of black and yellow, some all black, and some all yellow. This can present a problem because litters are sold by sex and color. Thus, when the litter's color and sex makeup fall outside our client’s selection criterion, the client has several choices as set forth below:
1.) The client can request a refund.
2.) The client can pick a different color out of the litter.
3.) The client can pick a different sex out of the litter.
4.) The client can pick a different sex and color out of the litter.
5.) The client can change to another litter but, may not have the same pick status.
We price all our puppies at $1950.00 To reserve a puppy, we require a $250 deposit. The balance of the purchase cost, $1,700.00 is due and payable on/or before the pick date. The payment(s) can be made by check, or with cash. A client's deposit establishes his or her spot in line on pick-up day. The first deposit received gets first pick, the second deposit gets the next pick, etc. Understand there will always be more than one first pick. Depending on the litters sex and color mix, there could be first pick male, first pick female, first pick black male, first pick yellow male etc. The date for picking the pup and taking it home will always be on the first Saturday after the pups are seven weeks old.
BREEDING SCHEDULE
Our goal at Woodsmoke Labrador Kennels is to produce the finest hunting labs possible. Therefore, at our kennels the breeding selection process is never taken lightly. Much thought comes into play before the breeding sire and dam are selected. First, each sire and dame in our breeding cadre must be over two years old, trained, and must have been tested for and receive a passing report on hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, eye conditions, and genetic disorders. Any potential sires and dams falling below grade based on x-ray evaluations, ophthalmology evaluations, and genetic testing are automatically excluded from the breeding pool. Secondly, we compare attributes of each potential sire and dam in an attempt to mate only those dogs that reasonably assure us that the puppies resulting from the union will possess the health, biddability, and trainability attributes that we strive to produce. We then, to the greatest extent possible, track our puppies to reassure ourselves that we are meeting our pre-established goals for health, biddability, and trainability. A breeding will not be repeated if a puppy or puppies fail to meet our standards.
A $250 deposit is required to reserve a puppy. Puppies will be reserved based on sex and color. Final puppy selection by sex and color will be based solely on the date that the deposit check is received at the kennel, i.e., the first deposit check received gets first pick, the second gets second pick and so on. If litter size, color, and sex requirements limit the selection process and your requirements cannot be met, you can either request and receive a refund, change to opposite sex/color of same litter (if possible), or you can elect to have your deposit put down on a subsequent litter.
We will post photos of puppies and litters from our breedings on facebook and Instagram.
