Puppy Purchase Information
Please read before inquiring about a puppy!

At Canvasback Labradors we try to do everything possible to
breed the healthiest, most socialized puppies available.  Each
litter is planned months and months in advance and are designed
to produce an improvement in each generation.  The pick dog
from each litter is always breeder retained.    

As a general rule, I have waiting list for each litter.  Every home
requires a little different trait from their future puppy.  Therefore,
matches between puppy and new family are made by me.  As the
breeder spending hours with the babies each day from the
moment they are born to until they are ready for you at 8 weeks,
I generally know all the little differences in personalities.  The
puppy that may excel in the agility ring—is probably not the best
match for a family with a toddler—and the couch potato puppy is probably not the right dog for the owner
looking for the next Master Hunter.  Multiple color litters (ie: blacks and yellows) usually make picking easier
because there are not 5 yellow females to choose from!

                                                Once I have exchanged the litter information with you, and you have provided
                                                all of your information to me—and you decide you would like to reserve a
                                                puppy from the next litter, I will send you a deposit agreement. Your deposit
                                                will hold a puppy for you until 8 weeks of age. My deposits are non refundable.
                                                Once I reserve a puppy for you, I will turn away other inquiries for that
                                                puppy—therefore I expect that you are done shopping in return.  

                                                Puppies go home having their first shot series, wormed at least three times,
                                                exposed to sleeping in a crate, and drinking and eating well. I expose the
                                                puppies to lots of sights, sounds, and surfaces so that you will get a puppy
                                                properly exposed to these foundation experiences.

                                                Please email with specific questions about litters available or puppy care.
