Please read ALL information below before contacting us about a puppy...
To reserve a puppy, you must first join our wait list. We currently have about a 6 month wait for most colors/genders but it may be shorter or longer so please reach out by email or check our puppies page for availability.
Once you join our wait list, you will get group email updates of available puppies and litters we are taking deposits for. Our current average wait time varies depending on the color and gender you are waiting for. I will gladly give out referrals to other breeders if you are looking for a pup sooner than we have available. No deposit is due to join the wait list. We wait to collect deposits until we are ready to assign you to a litter or until we have a puppy available for you. The more open you are to color and gender, the quicker I can match your family with a puppy. Updates typically will be sent out approximately every few months. You will also be able to update preferences and information from your private link at anytime.
***It is VERY important to add my email address to your email contacts/addresses otherwise my emails may go to your junk/spam folder!
I take up to 8 deposits for each litter prior to their birth (4 male/4 female). We may choose to reserve 1st and 2nd picks for our breeding program but will let everyone know before deposits are taken. An average litter size is 8 puppies. I will send out a group update when I am ready to take deposits on a litter. I will request you to email me back if you are interested in placing a deposit on that litter. The families highest on our wait list that respond back to me will have first priority to place deposits. If additional puppies are available after their birth, I will send another email out to everyone to accept the remaining deposits.
I keep a spread sheet of all info, preferences, details etc. on each family. I do my best to make it fair for everyone and to keep the information accurate. I'm not perfect so please contact me right away if you see an error! Feel free to reach out to me at anytime to check in on timing.
When the deposit is due, we require a non-refundable deposit of $200 to reserve your place on a specific litter or puppy. The deposit is refundable if what you reserve is not produced, or it is fully transferable to the next available litter/puppy of your choice. The balance is not due until the pup is picked up at 8 weeks of age. After puppies are born, we will email you the login to our webcam (normally within 2 weeks of birth) so you can watch the puppies grow! We do not schedule visits for the first few weeks after birth due to health and safety of the litter. We will schedule families to pick out which puppy will be theirs between 5-7 weeks old in the order of their assigned pick. I will be able to help families choose the best puppy to fit their lifestyle. I get to know the personalities of the puppies well! Families that live out of town will be sent pictures and videos of the puppies they are choosing from if they are unable to come in person to pick out their puppy. Puppies leave at 8-9 weeks of age.
Families that have placed deposits or intend to place a deposit on an upcoming litter are welcome to schedule a visit. We do not do visits/appointments/ or pick ups on Sundays. We can accommodate almost any other day or time. We limit visits during certain times for the health and safety of newborn puppies. We will keep you in the loop with posts on our Daisy Mountain Labs Facebook page plus you will be able to check in on the webcam at any time.
It is difficult to predict litter size, gender, color, and cycles so please be patient 🙂 They always like to surprise us!
Don't forget to "like" our Daisy Mountain Labs Facebook page! Lots of puppy pics and info posted there. We also have a Daisy Mountain Labs Brag Page on Facebook for our puppy families to post pics and videos of their Daisy Mountain Labs. You may join that as well!
Additional information....
We breed show bench English AKC Labrador retrievers in chocolate, black, and yellow. Our yellows range in color from white (cream) to fox red. Our pups make great hunt, show, family companions, therapy and service dogs. All of our labs come from quality champion lines. We strive to breed Labradors within the AKC breed standard therefore we do not breed silvers. Our labs typically range in size from 55-85lbs. They are the shorter, stocky, show body type with a more mellow disposition.
Puppies will be microchipped, dewormed, vaccinated, health exam by veterinarian, come with a 26 month health guarantee, and limited AKC registration. No breeding rights available on our puppies. The Sire and Dam of each litter will have their health testing done including OFA certification of hips/elbows along with other genetic testing. Results for each parent are posted on this page. The puppies will be doggy door trained before leaving to their new homes. Although they will have a great start on potty training, you will need to continue the potty training at home. Puppies are raised in our home with us and handled daily by my children and I. Check out our About Us page to find out about our family and my experience raising these pups. I have 15 years experience as a veterinary technician and have been breeding since 2007.
Please email me if you have additional questions not answered on my website. Please allow 3-4 days for a response. We look forward to meeting your family and matching you with your perfect puppy! Thank you!
