Labrador Retriever Puppy Questionnaire, Indiana

Labrador Retriever Puppy Questionnaire

Current / Upcoming Litters | Past Litters | Puppy Families | Puppy Questionnaire

Thank you for your interest in Eagle Bay Labradors! Our goal is to breed a very limited number of high quality Labrador litters and place them in loving homes. We breed OFA-clear stock and provide sound and happy puppies bred to the standard for our buyers. Regardless of whether a puppy is bound for the show ring or your living room floor as a companion, each puppy’s future is extremely important to us.

Please see http://www.thelabradorclub.com/subpages/show_contents.php?page=Breed+Standard to read the Labrador Retriever Breed Standard.

We place all of our puppies with health guarantees for genetic disease and with written contracts. All of our puppies are priced the same because every one is guaranteed and is of equal value to us. Most of all, we wish to make sure that the puppy you purchase is right for your family and receives the utmost in loving care during its lifetime. We take a lot of time placing our puppies. Not everyone who requests a dog will qualify for placement. We ask that you also send via email photos of your home and yard.

If we do place a dog with you, we have a lifelong commitment to each animal and will work with you to help you realize a rewarding relationship with your dog. Please help us get to know you better by answering the following questions.

15. Our non-show puppies are sold under limited AKC registration. This does not mean that your dog is not AKC registered, it means that if you bred your dog, its puppies would not be AKC registerable. This is accepted practice among breeders at this time. As much as we value the quality of our dogs, we firmly believe that not all dogs, no matter how much we love them, should be bred. We ourselves have neutered Champions, who are now pets, because they did not meet the stringent breeding requirements we uphold. We hope you understand the reasoning behind this decision. We also require that you spay or neuter your pet by the age of 12 months but not before the age of 9 months if it is not entering the ring as a show dog. A neutered or spayed animal, as long as it is allowed to complete its critical growth phase prior to the procedure, is just as beautiful and lovable as an intact one and faces fewer health risks. All dogs must be registered with the AKC within one month of purchase.
