Black lab puppies looking for a home

Description

Our wonderful bitch has had a litter of 9 black lab puppies to our own stud dog.

She had 4 bitches and 5 dogs.

The puppies are currently just over 2 weeks old and thriving. (born 07.04.25) Their eyes have just opened and their little personalities are appearing.

The puppies will stay with us until they are 10 weeks old before leaving to go to their new homes.

The reason for this is so;

1; They can be fully vaccinated before leaving to go to their new homes. I like to vaccinate the puppies at 6 weeks old and 10 weeks old allowing them to start their walks at 11 weeks old. The reason I vaccinate them at 6 weeks rather than 8 weeks is because the crucial socialisation period for puppies is approximately between 5-15 weeks. If they are vaccinated at 8 and 12 weeks old they can not go out for walks until they are 13 weeks old, limiting the socialisation window.

I also like my puppies to be fully covered before leaving to go to a new home reducing the risk of the puppies catching something infections.

2; The second reason that i like to keep the puppies until they are 10 weeks old is so i can start toilet training and crate training the puppies. This allows the puppies time to adjust in their familiar environment away from the other puppies in the litter. The puppies get used to being crated on their own, before they go to a new home, reducing stress for the puppy and allowing a smoother transition to their new homes.

The puppies will be fully health checked by the vet, fully vaccinated, microchipped, flea and wormed. They will have a bag of their puppy food, a blanket that smells like here in their puppy pack before leaving to go to their new home.

The puppies are being exposed to children, people and noises like hoovers ect. The puppies are being raised in a loving home environment by a Vet nurse, dog trainer, behaviourist and her family.

Homes are really important, please only contact if you are serious. Anyone who starts a message with how much, will not be getting a reply. We want to find people who are going to cherish these puppies into adulthood and elderly.

Bitch; The mother of these puppies is our picking up dog. She incredibly biddable, soft natured, loyal and great with children. She is a natural game finding dog and works really well. She is very much a pet at home, very laid back, has got a great off switch and nothing phases her, but soon as she is in the field the switch is on. She marks well and hunts well and a great game finder. The kind of loyal lab that never needs a lead, just follows you around and lays next to you.

Dog; The father of these puppies is also our picking up dog. He is also very loyal, level headed, biddable, soft natured dog, you wouldn't know he was entire, he isn't bolshy at all. Again the kind of dog who never needs a lead, first day out picking up sat there off the lead during the drive and didn't move an inch even with game falling and hares bolting past and hasn't needed a lead since. Extremely hard hunting, will go through any cover to find game. Again he has got a great off switch and is great with children.

Both mother and father are my working picking up dogs and run with a pack of 13 dogs, but they are also very much a loved family pet on the off season.
