Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds AKC Labrador Retrievers - Central Washington

Just spent the night NOT sleeping... Bella and Milo's litter arrived!

This is my son Alex's dog's first litter. My girl Bella's 3rd.

Milo has a very decorated pedigree on his Dad's side, (something like 32 blings on the 4 generation sheet), he's proving out to be a great pet, trainable and enthusiastic hunter, and a beautiful Dog. Ideal size, super athleticism, excellent confirmation, great spirit, and a super first dog for Alex.

Bella is a square, solid, super intelligent Lab, great pet, queen of our pack, and a fierce hunter, with two litters of proven pups before this one. One pup has made Jr Hunter, but all of her pups have that kind of potential.


This is the both of them last season...

We ended up with 2 Chocolate Females, 4 Black Females, and 4 Black Males.


I'll be taking deposits and reserving them starting right after I contact a couple people who were already on the list.

Asking $1000. $300 deposit (only refundable from my end), $700 upon delivery.

8 weeks old delivery minimum, I definitely prefer 10, but people are often anxious to get them. I'll decide later if I'll demand ten weeks. (The socialization with the litter mates is critical to a dog's future emotional stability, demeanor, and trainability.)

Full AKC registrations included, not limited.

My pups get dew claws, 2-3 wormings, (all my adult dogs are on diatomacious earth, but the pups will also get medicinal wormings), 2 of three series of immunization shots, and LOTS of interaction with kids, young adults, and adult dogs. They participate in retriever drills the adults are doing, and they get some group manners training.

Contact me for more details, or to reserve a puppy! I'll be posting elsewhere also!

Located in Selah WA.

Will be adding photos as the process continues!


Thanks!

Here is Milo's Bling Sheet...

Even more importantly, they're both great dogs!

I’ll agree with you on 10 weeks.Good looking dogs…

They look great!

One of the Choc Females reserved. Several inquiries going...

Quick Update,

Some growth pics... Face close up, and now they've at least doubled in size and move away from Mamma for a nap after nursing! Dew claws have been removed, all came out great!

One Chocolate female reserved, One Black female reserved, inquiries on the other choc, and a black male, but nothing set yet...

Still keeping them inside, instead of out in the custom built puppy whelping area, due to the smoke in Selah. Getting really discouraged about the free growing Schneider Springs fire... going to be very different in the Yakima Mountains for a LONG time to come. Keeping puppies inside for their developmental health is a small symptom...

Please contact me for more details and to reserve a pup!

I'm in Selah and just bought a lab puppy last week from a breeder on the westside because couldn't find any close. I got a good puppy from good parents but wish I had known you were going to have some. I'm sure they will go fast, good luck.

Mark

Thanks Mark! Hope you got a real good one!

Starting to get little eye slits, will try to get some pics and video today!

Labs are awesome dogs, if I didn't have 2 pups of our own I'd be very tempted to get one of yours. I seriously doubt these will last long but good luck with your pups!

They are far superior - in the things I value - to any other dogs I've owned, which includes about 10 different breeds. Family safe, alert to strangers but very rarely aggressive, trainable, hunt drive, birdy, pleasant personality, ideal affection level.... I just love 'em!

Seeing the light!

Outside in the big puppy area! Beautiful clear air in Selah today! Will move them back in if the smoke rolls back in.
Pray for rain!
Forest fire is discouragingly HUGE!!!!

Bella had to move in right away and lick everybody's butts!

Email sent.

Sent you a return text, Mtn...

As I recall it's only 1085 miles RT.

Are you a Field Trialer and breeder? Thank you.

Down payment made for the remaining chocolate female.

We'll take her!

I would really enjoy sharpening these dogs and Field Trialing them, if I had the time to do it. I will probably someday. This line are plenty capable of blinging up their pedigrees. But, no. I haven't got into that world. I know what time is required, and I simply don't have it.

I intentionally got into some really good dogs, found my female (Bella, above) with great health, confirmation, and background of proven dogs, matched her with a sire with a similar background, to get a couple female pups, for one of my sons, and one of my daughters. Then I went out and found a great unrelated stud for another of my sons to own. (Milo, above. His Sire line was trialed, a lot.) Each dog is owned personally by a family member, with the intention of producing great pups, while being owned, trained, socialized, and bonded to one person - full time. It's by far the best way to produce quality pups. Everything about the sire and dam are known, in detail.

Family breeder. Absolutely. But not trialer. Not right now. We have 7 kids, 3 - 17, and a crazy busy life. Someday, yeah, probably, and with this line too. I'm really proud of them! But not now.

Met a few of the kids last year. Keep up the good work!

Milo, the Sire dog...
