Once you have communicated with us about what you are looking for in your puppy, and have confirmed the availability of the gender and color you prefer, you may make a deposit either via personal check or Paypal.  We accept an amount of $100 to hold your pup, and you will be able to choose your pup in the order your deposit is received.  For example, if you are the first to make a deposit for a black male, you will have first pick from among the black males in the litter.  The deposit amount is non-refundable after the litter has been born.  If, after making a deposit, you are unable to purchase the pup at that time, we will forward the amount toward the price of a pup in a future litter.

Red River Retrievers

 

Healthy, Happy Labs—From our home to yours

Yes. Within the Labrador retriever breed there are many variations in appearance, including varying shades of yellow, from almost white to classic yellow, to fox red, as well as chocolate, and black.  The nose and eye color can also vary from light to dark.   A small white patch on the chest of a black Lab is also an acceptable variation within the breed.   There can be any combination of colors within a litter (but not multi-colored), depending on the genetic background of the parents.

What should I know about bringing a puppy home during the holidays?

While the “Lady and the Tramp” type of scene on Christmas morning, with the puppy coming out from hiding and the joyful responses of the children or spouse may seem ideal, seems so wonderful, many times this is not the best approach for the puppy.   If a Christmas celebration will not involve travel, guests, or loud toys, this is fine.  But most holiday celebrations involve many of these things, which are inherently more difficult for the puppy to deal with.  To best help your pup adjust, bring him home significantly sooner than the holiday or right afterwards.  Give the puppy a week or two to adjust to his new home and family before taking long drives, having a large crowd at the house or introducing things that might be harder to get used to.  Instead of giving the puppy itself on Christmas, consider getting the puppy a few weeks ahead so you can savor the extra time with the puppy during the break and enjoy his antics on Christmas morning.  Or, if after the holidays is better, consider giving a collar or other pet-item, gift wrapped with a picture and a note explaining the plan to get the puppy soon.
