PUPPY SELECTION

Choose a reputable breeder with good references and keen knowledge about Labrador Retriever. Reputable breeders run clean kennels, specialize in only one or two dog breeds, and are able to produce accurate health records for each dog and puppy in their facility.

Choose a playful, outgoing puppy and spend some time getting to know him or her before you make your selection. To pick out the best Labrador Retriever puppy for your family, you’ll need to select a dog with a good temperament. While it can be difficult to gauge a puppy’s temperament when he’s young, there are some things you can look for that may give you a good indication of whether the dog is well socialized. If a puppy runs from you when you try to pick him up or if he hides to avoid contact with you, he is not a well-socialized dog and you should move on. A puppy should feel comfortable when a human picks him up. He shouldn’t whine, whimper or growl when touched.
