Choosing Your British Lab Puppy
Knowing your reserved lab pup has been whelped is very exciting. We understand you are anxious to see the newest member of your family as soon as possible. However, visitors are typically prohibited from interacting with a newborn litter because the pups have yet to be vaccinated and are extremely susceptible to various illnesses.
When the British Lab puppies are approximately six weeks old, you will be allowed to visit and choose your pup by the order of your reservation. By this time, the pups have developed some characteristics that are good indicators on temperament, bird desire and overall size.
Picking Up Your New Labrador Puppy
As a rule, we do not let pups leave the litter before they are at least seven weeks old. Generally pups will go home between seven and eight weeks of age. We normally schedule your pick-up day on a Friday. In the event you have chosen one of our specialized Lab training programs, your pup may stay with us for obedience training for Labradors and dog hunting training or return at six months of age for hunting instruction.
We do ship puppies, by arrangement, throughout the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii. For shipping to take place British Lab puppies must be at least eight weeks old.
Producing healthy lab puppies with natural hunting ability is our main goal. We believe testing is one of the most important things we can do to ensure you receive a healthy puppy. All of the breeding stock owned by Wild Slough, LLC, has most comprehensive health testing in the business at the time of breeding. Each British Lab puppy is also checked beyond what is needed to secure a health certificate. Genetic testing at Wild Slough, LLC, includes:
- EIC
- OFA
- CERF
- Optigen-PRA
- Labrador CNM
The Wild Slough Guarantee
At Wild Slough, LLC, we strive to produce healthy puppies free of genetic defects. In the unlikely event your puppy cannot obtain an OFA rating of fair, good or excellent or has been diagnosed "affected" with CNM, EIC, or PRA by 26 months of age we will provide a similar replacement pup when it becomes available.
