Home-reared Yellow / Red Labs for Family Pets

** 2 girls remaining **

A litter of KC registered puppies specifically bred to to happy, healthy dogs well suited to all the adventures of being a valued family pet. Their KC registered parents are extensively health-checked and selected for their excellent temperaments; and the puppies have been carefully raised and socialised to give them the best possible start in life.

We have one litter a year, we work from home, and Emma is a dog behaviourist. So we have put a great deal of care, attention and behavioural expertise in to preparing the puppies for their future life as family pets.

The puppies have been raised on our smallholding, and so are familiar with both home and outdoor environments. They have been taught to sit quietly on your knee, and understand that all four paws should be on the ground when they interact with humans. They have a reliable recall, and are learning to toilet in designated areas. They are confident, curious, and playful, and their individual personalities are starting to emerge. We have taken great care to avoid any distress or over-excitement as we carefully socialise them to the life they can expect as family pets.

We were so impressed by our first litter, that we kept Jude, and you can meet her to give you an idea of the sort of dog our puppies will become. Plus Emma will provide you with life-long behaviour and welfare support should you need it.

Mum, Stella, is a superb dog: loving, trusting, eager to please, and can be taken anywhere. She has passed the full range of health tests required by the Kennel Club, and has proved to be an excellent mum. Stella’s KC credentials can be found on the KC website under her Kennel Name Ponchatoula Primrose.

Dad, Dennis, is from Wendy Anderson’s Skyhead kennels. Wendy is a very experienced breeder and has been a great support, helping match the right dog for Stella and our aim of breeding confident, sensible family pets. See www.skyhead.co.uk. Dennis has tested clear for over 20 heritable conditions, ensuring that all of his and Stella’s puppies will be free of such problems. Dennis’s KC credentials can be found on the KC website under his Kennel Name Pasturedene Snipe.

Jude, the puppies older sister, has been a kind and loving tutor to her younger siblings – even teaching them how to play fetch! Her input has helped the puppies learn appropriate interactions with older dogs, and with each other when Jude intervenes in their squabbles.
