If you are interested in being added to our puppy or available adults list, please read this whole page and fill out the puppy buyer questionnaire at the bottom!! I will do my best to get back to you in a day or two. I do have a "real job" and eight dogs to tend to, so please understand that I may not be available upon initial inquiry!
We do not have any puppies available at this time. Our next litter will be due around Thanksgiving and ready to go home early 2009.
We breed mostly blacks, no chocolates, and occasional yellows.
Friends in the Houston area have an 11 week old black female available out of Baily: http://www.tamerlanelabs.com/BrooksBaily.htm and a 1 year old black female out of Molly: http://www.tamerlanelabs.com/Molly.htm

In the whelping box, we have black and yellow pups born May 19, 2008: BISS Ch Tremont's Fu Man Chu x Ch. Sureshot Hyspire Born Ready, JH, RN, CGC
We have one yellow female, 2 black females, 2 black males and 5 yellow males.
At this time, we have no females available and have a lot of pet puppy inquiries and will know more about availability once the pups are a little older.
We will likely have a few yellow males available and will know more at the end of June. All show pups will be retained by us or placed with other known breeders. This is Diva's last litter and we have high hopes for some keepers from this pair.

Also, Betsy Arellano is visiting and has taken some great photos of the pups (and some of the big dogs too).... here's a link to her album
First stacked photos are up on their own page here... I'll be updating the page with 7 and 8 week photos as well!


Mr White collar may need a ride back from the couch to the puppy pen after a big night-- don't worry, he's got the iPhone all figured out though!

Black and Yellow litter planned for October 2008: Brooks Take a Dare x LegaSea's Easy on the Eyes
We only have a couple litters a year and all of our pups are born and raised in the home and are treated as family members, just as the adult dogs are (except they don't get to sleep in the bed until they're housebroken! :) ). A whelping box is set up in the living room, where the pups are born and kept for the first four to five weeks of their lives. When they are old enough, they are moved outside to a puppy yard or into a pen in the garage every morning and left out for the day with plenty of visits from mom, other adult dogs in the home and humans, as well as swimming time in the pool when the weather is good. Each evening, they come back into the house or into the garage to sleep in an indoor pen. All of our puppies will be exposed to cats, children, adults, the vacuum cleaner, the garden hose, a couple doggy doors and even the swimming pool before they leave our home! We believe in "The Rule of 7." Pat Hastings, AKC judge and author of The Puppy Puzzle offers these hints for socializing very young puppies:
By the time a puppy is 7 weeks old it should have:
I prefer to keep puppies until they are close to 10 weeks old. The following articles from Gun Dog Magazine will help to explain why I like to keep them until that age:
Producing Behaviorally Sound Dogs
Temperament and health are first and foremost in our breeding
program. My adult dogs are therapy dogs and they greet strangers
with wagging tails and a toy if they can find one. Both of the one year
olds are well on their way to the same. We absolutely will
never breed a dog with anything less than the perfect Labrador temperament as we
hope to keep puppies out of every litter. All of the stud dogs chosen
are observed in conformation and performance activities, and then met in person and meet the same standards as dogs in our home.
The pups are started on a de-worming program at 2 weeks of age and are de-wormed at 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 weeks with Nemex, as needed. A slight modification to Dr Jean Dodds' minimal vaccination schedule is used at LegaSea. At eight weeks of age the pups are all vaccinated for Distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza and parvo (DA2PP) virus with a high titer vaccine by Intervet. They should continue to receive DA2PP vaccines every three to four weeks until they are 16 weeks and then they should receive their rabies vaccination no less than 3 weeks after the last DA2PP. Dr. Dodd's vaccination protocol will be in the puppy packs for you and your veterinarian to discuss. If you live in close proximity to other dogs, I also vaccinate for Bordatella at 8 weeks. The first dose of Heartgard Plus will be given in the puppy packs, and during flea season, puppies are given their first dose of Advantage at 8 weeks. All puppies will be examined by my vet and a health certificate will be provided with all vaccination dates, de-worming, fecal and physical examination records.
At seven weeks your puppy will also be microchipped with an Avid FriendChip. This is a safeguard to help you get your dog back should it ever be lost or stolen and also to help keep our dogs out of shelters or rescue groups. By working with Lab Rescue, I have seen cases of dogs reunited with families YEARS after they are lost, due to the identification by the microchip. All of our chips are pre-registered and we will also be contacted in cases that our dogs are in need of re-homing. Complete paperwork will be in the puppy packets and AKC now has a place to enter the microchip number on the registration forms as well.
All of our puppies go to new homes between 9 and 10 weeks, after de-worming, one DA2PP vaccination, microchipping, a well-puppy vet check and a
ACVO eye
examination. Puppies will go home with a 5 pound bag of food, toys,
treats, and a blanket that smells like the litter in addition to a very large
puppy packet with a full pedigree, copies of health clearances for both parents,
and many articles and tips for raising a puppy. I do not take deposits prior to 6 weeks of age, but please email me for
a puppy questionnaire and to set up a time to talk about what you are looking
for in a lab.
All of our puppies are sold on an AKC limited registration which means the puppy cannot be bred or shown in conformation but may be shown in obedience, agility, hunt tests or any type of performance events. This is just one way that the AKC has helped responsible breeders fight against overpopulation of dogs and irresponsible breeding. Show quality puppies are not sold to individuals that we do not know. If you are interested in showing dogs, please email me and I will let you know about upcoming shows and our local club functions so you can learn more about the fancy first. I have placed show potentials in homes that weren't quite ready and am hesitant to do so again!
All puppies should be checked by a Veterinarian within 72 hours after getting home (Sunday not included in the 72 hours) If there is any medical problem with the dog not specified in the contract, you may return it for a full refund or a different puppy if one is available, within 24 hours with a letter from the Veterinarian describing the condition. I will take back a dog we have sold at any time in its life and require that we be given first right of refusal if you must dispose of your dog for any reason at any age. I know that sometimes circumstances require the re-homing of your dog and if you ever need to place one of our dogs, we require that we are notified, as there is often a list of families looking for adult dogs as well.
All of our dogs are
house dogs and we also require that all of our puppy-buyers allow their dogs
to sleep in the home, crate train puppies,
and take every puppy to a beginning obedience class.
All of our puppies are sold for $1400, regardless of whether or not they are show quality. A lot of money and sweat equity goes into each litter, even before the litter is conceived. All of our bitches are proven in the show ring and in performance events and are mentally and physically sound and healthy. We rarely use local stud dogs and have costs associated with breeding via artificial insemination, and the meticulous care for our puppies and dams in the home as described above. The relationship with your dog and breeder will hopefully last 12 to 15 years.... please shop wisely!! This link will give you some good ideas regarding puppy prices.
WE DO NOT SHIP PET PUPPIES. ALL PUPPY BUYERS MUST VISIT OUR HOME AND PICK UP PUPPIES IN PERSON.
WE PREFER TO PLACE PUPPIES WITHIN A 6 HOUR DRIVING RADIUS.
If you are interested in purchasing one of our dogs, please fill our a puppy buyer questionnaire or email me for more information!
Thanks!
