Picking Up Your Puppy Policy
As a general rule all Labrador Retriever puppies are ready for their new homes at 8 weeks old. We will not release a puppy prior to 8 weeks old ... we are very firm on this policy. Occasionally there may be a large litter of 10 puppies or more ... if you choose your puppy from a larger litter then we like to extend the puppy ready date to about 8 1/2 weeks old. Puppies born in large litters are generally smaller in size at birth ... we want the puppies to have a chance to nurse from their mom a little longer than usual (before the weaning process begins).
I (Sherree) post the 'puppy ready date' with the litter info which can be found on the appropriate Available Puppies / Litter (Parents) page. You will find it to the right of the parents (dam / sire) photo's.
We ask that everyone that has reserved a puppy to set up a "picking up your puppy" date (day / time) in advance. Some families / individuals will make arrangements at the same time they have chosen their puppy, but you can also make arrangements by giving us at least 48 hours notice on the date (day / time) you wish to pick up your puppy to take home with you.
WE DO NOT SHIP OUR PUPPIES VIA THE AIRLINES OR GROUND TRANSPORT
ALL PUPPIES MUST BE PICKED UP IN PERSON AT OUR LOCATION / HOME
(face to face transactions only ~ no exceptions)
Please note : We will hold a reserved puppy with no extra charge up to 10 weeks old. Sometimes a family / individual has a planned vacation and we feel it in the best interest of the puppy that they stay with us a little longer. It's less stressful on the puppy and they are already familiar with their surroundings / routine. Please let us know in advance if this situation occurs or if you have upcoming vacation plans that coincides with the "picking up your puppy" date so arrangements can be made in advance.
Any RESERVED PUPPY that is not picked up when he / she turns 10 weeks old will be subject to a $20 / day boarding fee ... up until the puppy is actually picked up. This policy starts at 10 weeks old or 70 days old. This applies even if the puppy has not been completely paid in full. So please be aware that if you are unable to pick up your puppy prior to 10 weeks old that there will be extra charges applied to the balance due on the puppy. We would appreciate that you notify us in advance if this would apply to you so proper arrangements can be made. The $20 / day boarding fee also applies to persons / families that have made vacation plans and won't be able to pick up their puppy after he / she is 10 weeks old.
