Health Guarantee
All puppies come with a 24-month genetic health guarantee and a 72-hour business day vet check refund for genetic soundness/health. The puppy must be vetted within 3 business days of receipt. After that, this guarantee holds no cash value. Puppies are dewormed and vaccinated at 6 weeks, with dew claws removed at 3 days. Additionally, all puppies are microchipped. The 24-month genetic health guarantee is applicable only for a replacement puppy and applies solely to life-threatening genetic disorders.

One Litter a Year
A note to consider: If you feel you aren't ready for a puppy right now, please keep in mind that my females come into heat twice a year, but I only breed them every other heat, unless there are special circumstances. I take into consideration that the females need a rest and time to bounce back to 100% before going through pregnancy again. So, that (normally) means ONE litter a year. I don't want anyone to purchase a puppy until you're ready, but please take into consideration that you may potentially be waiting a year for the next litter.

Exercise Needs
Labrador Retrievers and Labradoodles are both high-energy dogs. This can be fun and exciting or frustrating for owners. If an owner is frustrated because their puppy or dog is misbehaving, there’s a very good chance it's not the dog's fault.
Retrievers are high-energy working dogs. They are born to work, love a physical and mental challenge, and that’s what makes them excellent hunters. Incredible energy is needed out in the field to hike, run, and swim all day in sometimes harsh conditions.
Another attribute of the Labrador is its heart. They naturally have a desire to please. Once you’ve bonded, they are forever loyal. They also have lots of personality, and their temperament makes them a joy as family dogs. They are excellent with children.
Please consider all attributes of both Labradors and Labradoodles before committing to this dog. Either is a great choice as a family pet, but the exercise needs are still the same.
They love playing fetch, and toys made especially for the breed can’t be beaten. They will settle in better and be better satisfied if they have another canine playmate. If the dog has to be alone for many hours a day, being free in the home or backyard (weather permitting and given they have appropriate shelter if needed) is a better choice than being crated all day. This, of course, is after sufficient training, but the sooner, the better. A high-energy dog shut up in a crate for hours upon hours will never be content, and destructive behavior, such as digging or chewing, more often than not follows.

Pricing & Deposits
Non-refundable deposits of $250.00 will reserve your puppy. The deposit goes toward the price of the puppy. Buyers will reserve puppies on a "first come, first served" basis. If a Buyer reserves a specific sex of a puppy and there are not enough puppies of that sex, the Buyer can be "first in line" to reserve their puppy from an upcoming litter.
Prices of puppies are determined by sex and parents' pedigree. Please message me for detailed pricing and all details of the buyer/seller contract.
Prospective Buyers may visit starting at 6 weeks of age, and visits are by appointment only.
Please contact me to make a deposit. If you are not able to or refuse to fulfill your obligation as a buyer, you forfeit your deposit. All deposits expire after 2 years of payment if you have not followed through on your commitment. By placing a deposit, you agree to these terms.
Full Registration with AKC breeding rights is available to approved breeders for an extra fee. Please contact me for more information.
I reserve the right to refuse to sell to a prospective buyer at any time without cause.

Pick Up
I do NOT ship puppies! The buyer can drive to or fly into OKC/Will Rogers Airport or use a flight nanny or carry-on out of OKC/Will Rogers Airport. I will consider delivering puppies, but all mileage, airline tickets, etc., will be the responsibility of the buyer. I prefer to meet the new puppy owners and transfer babies on my premises. It is my prerogative to refuse to sell to anyone for any reason. Some individuals may be "stocking up on puppies" to resell, and I will not sell to anyone I don't feel is buying for the right reason. In-person visits will be scheduled by appointment only at 6 weeks, after puppies have had their first set of shots. Puppies will be ready for their new homes at 8 weeks.
