We do carry waiting lists for our litters and typically our Lab puppies are spoken for before they are born. Please feel free to contact us to inquire about upcoming litters; we prefer e-mail as first contact. We ask that you please fill out the puppy questionnaire so we can learn about your family and what you are looking for in a puppy. Please be sure to read the information below about our puppy policies and we also suggest reading the “How our Puppies Are Raised” and “Our Breeding program” pages, as this will answer many questions about our breeding program and how our puppies are raised.
Puppy Deposits:

The deposit to reserve a puppy is $400 and is NON-REFUNDABLE.  We do accept a limited number of deposits before a litter is born, usually deposit spots are full on a litter before puppies are born and often times before the breeding takes place or shortly thereafter.  So if you have a specific litter you are interested in we encourage you to get your deposit in early.
    The deposit is applied to the price of the puppy and the balance is due when the puppy is picked up at 8 weeks.  We do not under any circumstances hold a puppy without a deposit nor do we hold a puppy based on phone conversations or scheduled appointments.
     We cannot guarantee the availability of a particular puppy in a litter before we have done our show evaluations as we breed first for ourselves.  We need the puppies to develop before choosing which one we will hold back.

    Deposits can be made by mailing us a personal check, cashier's check or money order (checks accepted for deposits only). They can also be made via Zelle to summerlandlabradors@yahoo.com. The puppy deposit agreement which can be found at the bottom of this page should be filled out and either mailed or e-mailed to us at the time of deposit.

Our Visitation Policy:

While we love meeting our puppy families, we do not allow visits from people who do not have a deposit in with us and we do not allow visits before puppies are 6 weeks old and have had their first shot.  We do this for a number of reasons.

1.)  We don’t know where each family might have been before coming to our home.  You could unknowingly be bringing disease to our house on your clothes and shoes and if I have young not yet vaccinated puppies here this could be fatal to the litter.

2.). We are not a commercial kennel, we are hobby breeders who enjoy showing our dogs and having occasional litters.  Our “facility” is our home and we have a very active life keeping up with our 5 kids and our dogs/puppies…so we just don’t have the time to accommodate visitations for all the inquiries that we get.

When puppies are 6 weeks old, we welcome visits from their families as this is great socialization for the puppies.
We are out at Southern California dog shows quite often throughout the year, we encourage you to come on out and see us and our dogs at a show, we would love to meet you.

Puppy Picks:

We specialize in matching the right puppy to your home. We use the information provided by each family on the puppy questionnaire to help us match each puppy to the right family based on your family, lifestyle, and activities. We find that having families coming to pick their own puppy based on a short visit doesn’t give the family a clear picture of the individual personalities, but only a small window into what the puppy is truly like. Therefore, we do not feel this is the best approach to choosing a puppy. For example, a puppy that has just been napping before the family arrives and now is full of energy and ready to play may seem like the “busy” puppy, whereas the puppy that has been playing hard and is now tired and ready for a nap may seem like the “calm” one. We spend hours, days, weeks with these puppies, we feel there is no one better to pick the puppy you will spend the next 10-14 years with than someone who has spent countless hours with them. 


What comes home with the puppy:

We will e-mail a very informative puppy packet over to you when the puppy is 6 weeks old. This information has what food the puppy is eating, and has a list of recommended supplies for the puppy when he/she comes home such as crate, water dishes, ideas for good toys, etc. It has tips for crate training, housebreaking, socialization, and much more. In addition to this we will send home the puppy’s AKC papers for Limited Registration, a health record showing the shots and wormings that the puppy has received, your puppy will be microchipped and we will also send home a toy and blanket with the scent of the litter on it so they will have something familiar to help with the transition to their new home.

The price of a Summerland Labradors puppy Is $3000, regardless of sex, color, championship status, and whether or not they are show quality.

All puppies come with AKC Limited Registration unless going to a show home.

A lifetime of Nu Vet is cheaper than one major vet visit. Puppies and dogs that are on Nu Vet have beautiful coat and skin and are far less likely to ever suffer from allergies. Nu Vet Plus is an immune system builder that will help strengthen your pets immune system as well as the cardiovascular, skeletal and nervous systems. It will help protect pets from the side effects of vaccinations and the stress of new and different environments.
