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.

Ringo - 15 month old Big and Beautiful - Johnny Ringo is such a lovely boy.. probably the only negative I have to say about him is he is a slow eater...!!!!! I KNOW right? a Labrador that is a slow eater lol
As we have been competing all of our boys have done well, but we are to the point where we are competing against eachother in the ring! We made several cuts this year and this will be our final older boy to leave... We have been on the fence multiple times about his future show career... he does nothing wrong and tries his heart out! but it makes no sense to have our boys competing against eachother in the same ring.
Ringo has had full health testing, genetic panel, heart clearance, eye clearances and hips and elbows - he is 100% fabulous! Ringo is crate trained, leash trained, loves everyone and other dogs - We want to find him a home where he has his own sofa and family that will focus all their attention on him! Playing fetch is his favorite and of course tummy tickles!
Ringo would be a great addition to any family with his pedigree, training and extensive health testing we have him priced accordingly. If you think Ringo would be a fit for your family, please complete our older dog form and let us know if you would like to visit.
Ringo is priced at $4500.00
