Available Dogs & Older Puppies
In any responsible breeding program, there are numerous reasons why a particular dog is not to be an on-going part of the breeding program. Young or middle-aged dogs are occasionally available if I feel it is in the best interest of the particular dog to be placed in a carefully-screened pet home. Many people realize the advantages of adopting a well-socialized, house-trained dog rather than an 8-week-old puppy, and it can be a perfect situation benefiting both the particular dog and the adoptive family. No more competing for attention, but exclusive attention from a loving family! My heart may break when they leave, but I'm eventually comforted by the fact that he or she will be the center of life for some wonderful family. And everyone who knows Labs knows that, no matter how old, they have an unbelievable desire and ability to bond with anyone who shows them love and affection ... and feeds them!
I require that the prospective family come and visit and allow plenty of time for the family and the dog in question to get to know each other in various situations. We all must agree that it is a "match made in heaven". The reason(s) for placing the dog will be fully and honestly disclosed and a written guarantee will be issued. A week or two should be devoted to the adjustment period but, if for any reason, it appears not to be working out, I will immediately take the dog back and refund any money paid. Prospective adoptive families should be prepared to give a comprehensive dissertation regarding their desire for adopting an adult dog, their expectations, their family environment, lifestyle, facilities, etc.

Nova "Novi" - Pending
Beautiful 17 month old chocolate female, Novi was purchased as a show prospect in early spring and although she did well at her first two shows she needed a little time to mature <3 she isnt the largest girl - I believe she will mature at 65 lbs ? but she still has growing to do. Novi has a sensitivity to Chicken "is what we think" when the supply for our salmon Pro Plan was diminished 4 months ago we used the alternative pro plan as to not disrupt everyone in the kennel and Novi had a reaction and although did not itch.. she lost hair on her face and legs... since she did not have itchy or inflamed skin we thought that maybe it was a reaction to flea and tick medication as we treat everyone spring and summer... but after getting our shipment back with the salmon Pro Plan she is doing well! Although certainly we have had labs with intolerance to proteins (Dune for instance) it was never as dramatic as with Novi. Dune gets a little itchy and then goes on about his day... again... we use Pro Plan 30/20 Salmon version on everyone here and the shipping was a hiccup after covid supply and demand crisis... Due to her intolerance, we feel that she although could be a promoted show girl, she is just not a girl we want to use in our program. Novi is currently on a Salmon Oil Supplement as she still has a few places where her hair is coming in... she gets along with other dogs, however does not like dogs near her food when she is eating... we have worked on this... but I think she has a tendency to be a little bossy. She is a doll and loves everyone and is obnoxiously happy, but can be a little timid in overwhelming social situations... "large dog shows" for instance.. so just needs more patience and understanding in uncertain situations. She is a young girl and has a lot of life experiences to embrace, hiking, camping... an snuggling would be her perfect cup of tea! <3 Her adoption fee is $1000 and a wonderful home is a must! <3 Pictures will be uploaded as soon as the rain stops! lol
Hazel & Gert - Available
Chocolate Females - These sisters will be retiring in 2023 (DOB 04/23//2019). Will allow to be retired to separate homes - although preference for a home for both together
Both of these girls are lovely in the house, crate trained and listen extremely well. We owned 4 sisters and I can not say enough good things about them... they love each other and often play a little rough .. but hey they are sisters.. lol Their pastimes include looking for Penelope (the farm cat) around the farm, chasing each other, eating pears and they love watermelon! They had limited time around children as during covid they had less exposure, however their sisters adore children! These girls are on the more laid back side, they would love a hike but they aren't going to embark on your journey on the Appalachian trail lol - we would love to place them together - their adoption fee is $2000 each. Have health clearances and will be ready for their own couch and embark on new exciting adventures!
Both these girls, meander around the farm... no interest in running off and are 100% sweethearts... they will seriously steal your heart... they are big... 80's to 90's in weight... and have the most wonderful personalities... <3
