UPCOMING LITTERS

If you are thinking of acquiring a Labrador Retriever for your family, please remember that adding a new puppy or young adult to your home is a major decision and should only be undertaken after a great deal of thought and planning.

As a country hobby kennel, puppies are raised in our home and with lots of TLC and are well socialized, healthy and happy when it's time to be introduced to their new homes at about 8 weeks of age. With each pup is a complete puppy-packet of information including:

copies of hip and elbow certificates stating that sire and dam of the pup have been certified clear of hip and elbow dysplasia

copies of eye certification by an opthomologist

pictures of sire and dam

pedigree

information about crate training

articles on introducing your puppy to children

information on preparing your home for a new pup as well as poisonous substances info

complete feeding schedule and how to increase food as pup grows

a Purchase Agreement and replacement policy

6 weeks of free PetPlan Insurance

OUR TELEPHONE NUMBER at any time for assistance with follow-up concerns you may have about your new member of the family

As well our pups are:

completely vet-checked and had first set of vaccinations

dewormed

tattooed

registered with the Canadian Kennel Club

on a CKC Non-Breeding Agreement

Not everyone has the time required to raise a puppy, but would like to enjoy the companionship of a dog. Puppy rearing involves a great deal of teaching and 'house-training' that is not possible with everyone's lifestyle. Sometimes a 'house-trained' pup or young adult is a welcome addition to a busy or limited household.


When we are planning a litter here at Ginander, we do so with the intent of holding back a puppy for ourselves to show, train and be our companions….. and also with the thought of that pup potentially becoming part of our breeding program. If we have a couple of litters in a year, then at some point between the ages of 6- 12 months of age, we must decide which pup will remain with us and which pup will be made available to a loving home. Pups of this age have been socialized, crate-trained and sleep through the night without requiring to go to the bathroom.

Occasionally, we have an adult who has given to our breeding program, is fully certified, and is made available to become a family companion.

Because we receive many inquiries, we find it very helpful if you could tell us a little about your family and lifestyle. This helps us in placing an appropriate puppy or young adult into your home.

If you would like further information or to make an appointment to meet our Labrador family, just give a telephone call or email us and we would be happy to assist you.
