Welcome to the Windswept Labrador Retrievers "how to buy a puppy" page. Labrador Retrievers are a wonderful breed and I am proud to be a part of their history. However as a breeder, I have a responsibility to protect the future of the breed. As a result of this responsibility puppies are sold on an AKC limited registration. AKC limited registration restricts breeding. I also require that a pup be spayed/neutered prior to the age of 1 year. I never encourage or require an owner to breed a Windswept Labrador. Selective breeding requires years of knowledge and research that most owners lack. I hope you understand that I do this to protect the health and future of the breed. All my pups are vet checked, wormed, and have had their initial Duramune DA2PPV shots. They are raised in my home and are handled with love. Mothers are allowed to take care of their pups until the day they leave for their new home. This is SO important in the development of sound temperaments. Please do not be offended if I
ask as many questions of you as you do of me, as I am
responsible for the future of my puppies. This is, and
will remain, a shared responsibility and trust between
breeder and owner. I encourage visits to my kennel ( by appointment only) for you to meet my dogs, as well as myself, and for me to meet you. Thank you for your interest in Windswept Labrador Retrievers. |
