Purchasing Information
Thank you for considering a Brayfield Labrador as a new addition to your family.
Below is our purchasing process explained.
We do everything possible to ensure you are getting the best possible puppy for your family by taking all the steps necessary to produce healthy, happy and well-mannered puppies. Please ensure to familiarize yourself with Labrador Retreivers prior to submitting a request. Information can be found here Labrador Retriever Dog Breed Information (akc.org)
Please submit an interest request to be considered for the waiting list. After reviewing your request, we will contact you via email or phone to ask any further questions and/or to let you know your request has been approved.
A non-refundable reservation fee of $400 is applied towards the purchase price of the puppy (is transferable to another of our open wait lists) is required once your request has been approved. This will hold your order on our reservation list. A reservation fee can be made via Zelle,Venmo, Check or Cash. Your place on the wait list for each litter is prioritized by the date the interest request was submitted. We accept 3-4 deposits on each litter prior to their birth and will start a waiting list for any additional puppies that are born.
Once the puppies are born, if you are on the reservation list, you will receive a birth announcement along with a picture of the litter. You will receive updates with new pictures of the litter (through email and/or our private Brayfield Labradors Facebook group page and/or videos) at least bi-weekly.
When the puppies are born, a second progress installment is due.
When the puppies reach 7 weeks of age your final balance is due.
All Brayfield Labrador puppies go home on Limited American Kennel Club registration. We request that if for some reason, you decide to relinquish your dog to a shelter, you inform us first before doing so. We microchip all dogs to ensure they are not relinquished to a shelter and are appropriately re-homed or fostered (Microchip remains registered in Brayfield kennel name for first 12 months of life). Timing and decision to spay or neuter is at the purchaser’s discretion but recommended once the dog is fully matured.
Selection of puppies: Each puppy is a living creature with a unique personality. The proper temperament fit between you and your puppy is the vital element.
Please keep in mind that it is in Mother Nature’s hands to determine gender, color, and coat of your future puppy. We will do our very best to provide you with the puppy of your dreams and match your preferences, but sometimes this may not always be possible. In the event that you are offered a puppy that does not meet your wishes, your reservation fee will be rolled over to the next available similar litter.
When the puppies are 7-8 weeks old, they will be temperament tested and then they will be allocated to their new families.
Date for your puppy adoption will be between 8 and 9 weeks old. We will work with you as to the exact date as we get closer to that puppy age and how to best transfer the puppy into your family.
PLEASE do NOT send a reservation fee to us without an approved application.
Brayfield Labradors reserves the right to retain any puppy for breeding purposes.
