White English Labrador Retriever Breeders

By Ericka Marsh


Labradors are favorable dogs with a sweet nature, loyalty towards its family, and playful temperament. Taking the time to determine whether you are ready to purchase a pup requires an investigation into the breed, whether you will be able to meet its requirements for the next 10 to 15 years, and the right seller. The following offers tips to find reputable white English Labrador Retriever breeders.

For those who are new to the search for a puppy, it is important that one distinguish between a registered or responsible seller and a backyard breeder. The choice of a white English Labrador Retriever requires that the breeder a pup is sourced from is registered and focuses on good practices. A backyard breeder will not apply genetic assessments or vet checks of hereditary disorders and must be avoided.

A reputable and responsible Labrador Retriever seller should be contacted to ensure that the healthiest possible puppies are sought. The seller will determine which methods are available to maintain the well-being of the breeding pair and the litters that are produced. The purpose of such an approach is to ensure that the correct genetic line is met and to protect from the possibility of losing pups to poor genetics.

The potential owner of a Labrador Retriever puppy is advised on an investigation into what a backyard breeder is. These types of sellers can be noted in regular adverts on the internet and may also place notice of the available litter in newspapers. It is important to remain aware of these breeders and to ensure that the correct precautionary measures are put in place to protect from buying an unhealthy and poorly bred pup.

The puppies that are found at a pet store are often sourced from a puppy mill where ill practices are applied. Such canines may suffer from a bad temperament and hereditary disorders that require a great deal of expense to address. Owners will often breed the pair with each season and no regard for the health of the dogs that are involved.

Once you have created a list of a few breeders and contact them, there are a few phone calls that you can ask before purchasing the pup. Registered breeders may not often advertise online or by regular means, but may have a website with a waiting list for future litters. The breeding pairs are not used with every season in the production of litters to ensure the health of all canines.

It is important to determine whether the parents of the puppies have received the appropriate health clearances. This means that both sire and dam must be free of genetic conditions involving hip dysplasia and eye problems among other diseases that are related to the Labrador Retriever. The dogs must be at least 2 years old and must not be bred with each season as it may indicate that the breeder is interested in profits rather than the health of pets.

Reliance on a responsible breeder includes return of puppies to prevent the animals from ending up at a shelter. The seller may have a contract stipulating the care of the puppy including sterilization that should be completed at a specific age. One should only purchase Labrador Retriever puppies from reputable individuals who care about the canines.
