So you have decided to read on!!! Obviously you allready knew that Labrador pups will require house training and that they love to chew (everything) and will need hours of patient training to become good canine citizens.
That they take around 2 years to mature both mentally and physically and the cute little pup you once carried in your arms will grow to between 21” and 23” in height and could weigh in excess of 40 Kilos.
Then you may possibly be ready for a real Labrador puppy.

Choosing your Puppy
|
|
|

There are key questions all prospective puppy owners should ask the breeder from whom they are considering acquiring a puppy. Some of these questions pertain to the genetic background of the puppy and will help ensure that you are getting a healthy, happy, sturdy Labrador puppy. Of course, there are no absolute guarantees. All you can do is make certain that the breeder of your puppy has done all they can do to provide their puppies with the best chance of a life free from serious genetic problems. Sometimes even despite the best efforts of the most well respected and reputable breeders, problems do arise occasionally. Do your research and ask questions. Information that you will find very useful in your search to learn about the world of Labradors:

Anyone choosing to enter into the world of the Labrador should first research the breed as well as any potential breeder you are considering. You should be aware that most responsible and reputable breeders will ask you many questions pertaining to yourself, your family, your lifestyle, your home, and your intentions with regard to the puppy, at the same time that you are assessing the breeder.
A person, who has entered the world of Labradors and became a responsible, reputable breeder has done so because of their love of the breed and their desire to become involved in bettering the breed, not to make a profit. They enjoy the many aspects of the multi-purpose Labrador and typically get involved in competing with the Labradors in the show ring, obedience, tests, agility tests, and many more. Any person who simply breeds Labradors just to produce puppies for selling and profit does not truly have the best interest of the Labrador breed in their hearts and should be avoided.

Other important indicators of a reputable breeder are the time, hard work, dedication, and finances invested into their line of Labradors. Many people have been well educated to beware of the many puppy farms producing litter after litter of improperly bred Labradors in conditions that are sometimes inhumane, crowded, and dirty. You must also be wary of the "back yard" breeders, who couple any two Labradors together without consideration to their pedigrees, hips, eyes, temperament, and genetic disposition. Not only are these breeders detrimental to the Labrador breed, it is cruel to produce puppies that will not be able to enjoy the experiences inherent to the breed, such as running, swimming, retrieving, etc., because to do so causes them pain and suffering. Not only are the veterinary costs of such an inflicted Labrador expensive to the owner but the Labradors will have a shorter life span, comprised of less then optimum quality of life.
