Labrador Puppies For Sale

Labrador Retrievers (also known just as a “Labrador” or “Lab) are beautiful, obedient dogs that are highly prized as pets & companions. Not only are labs renowned for their portrayal in popular culture as loyal companions (see Old Yeller), they are now considered the world’s most popular domesticated dog breed. Originally bred for the hunt and pulling boats, they have been the most registered dog in both the US and the UK since the early 1990s.

Lab’s are known to be very easily trained and they get along very well with other household pets as well as children. Though a full grown Labrador Retriever stands at a decent size of between 21-25 inches (or 53-64 centimeters) and weigh between 55-80 lbs (24-36 kilos), they make poor guard dogs because of their friendliness with strangers. Another interesting note is that even though there isn’t an official separation when it comes to classification, English and American labs have a separate lineage, with English labs having the tendency to be more stocky than their lankier American counterparts.

• Insist on Health Certification: If you buy from a breeder that doesn’t provide health certificates, you may be taking a big chance on the health of your puppy. There are 3 very frequent genetic conditions associated with Labradors you’ll want to avoid, these are Hip Displacia, Elbow Displaysia and GPRA – which can cause blindness in your pet. By getting health certification, you’ll know that your puppy won’t develop these genetic conditions as he/she grows older.
• Know Your Pedigree: The modern day Labrador comes in various shapes in sizes. By researching your puppy’s pedigree, you’ll have a better idea of how your full grown Labrador will turn out.
• Buy From Experienced Breeders: While we certainly encourage adopting Labrador puppies from local homes, if you are paying significant money for a Labrador puppy, be sure to go to an experienced breeder. Some people are intimidated by professional breeders because they feel it will cost more and a seller that also competes their dogs in dog shows might not want to sell to a ‘mere’ pet owner. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. If you’re paying several hundred dollars for a puppy, be sure to go to an experienced breeder that can provide health schemes and tell you about your dog’s pedigree.
