Black Labrador Puppy Breeders

What could be more fun than a Labrador puppy? What could be more fun than 8 Labrador puppies?

Black Labrador puppy breeders have the joy of giving a healthy, happy start to numerous wriggling bundles of energy and affection. Yet those who set out to be Black Labrador puppy breeders take on a great responsibility with the joy. A good breeder has a responsibility both to the animals in his or her care as well as to the potential owners.

Finding Good Black Labrador Puppy Breeders

You can begin your search for good Black Labrador puppy breeders by visiting the Labrador Retriever Club (LRC) on the Internet. THE LRC maintains a directory of breeders. Black Labrador puppy breeders are listed by state. They are not guaranteed, but they have had to complete applications to get their listings.

If you cannot find a breeder in the directory, try contacting the LRC. They may personally know a good breeder in your area.

Learn before You Leap

A Labrador puppy is nearly irresistible. That is why you should take time to learn about the breed before you go to see puppies. You might fall in love with the puppy before learning how big it will become and what its needs will be. Love might blind you to possible hereditary defects. If you don’t know the official standard for a Labrador puppy, you might pay a handsome price for a dog that falls short of that standard.

You should learn about responsible breeding practices, too. Before you contact your first Black Labrador puppy breeders, understand what they should be doing with and for the puppies.

Prepare a List of Questions

Before calling or visiting Black Labrador puppy breeders, prepare a list of important questions to ask. If you want a Labrador puppy to take on hunting trips, you should ask questions about its potential as a gun dog. If you are looking for a companion, family dog, you will want to know about its temperament, and whether it has been socialized. The following are only a handful of other questions you should ask:

* Has the breeder had the parents’ hips and elbows X-rayed to be sure there are no dysplasias? A Labrador puppy can inherit a tendency for these potentially crippling abnormalities of joint formation. Breeders who try to be sure that both parents, and as many of the bloodline as possible are radiographically free of hip and elbow dysplasia are showing care for the breed as well as each puppy. The parents may not show any outward signs yet of the painful arthritis associated with hip and elbow dysplasia, but their joints should be checked by x-ray examination before breeding.

* Did the breeder invest time and money to have the parents’ eyes checked for eye defects that could lead to poor eyesight or blindness? Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), a disease that results in blindness, develops gradually. Although Retinal dysplasia seldom results in blindness, it does cause poor eyesight. Breeders should have the parents of a Labrador puppy checked for all eye problems.

* Ask if the breeder has had every Labrador puppy examined by a qualified veterinarian. Is there a guarantee regarding each puppy’s health? What are the terms of the guarantee?

Be Observant

When you do visit Black Labrador puppy breeders, keep your eyes open. Are the kennels and the yard clean? If a puppy left a stool that the breeder has not had time to scoop, look at it. It should be well-formed, and not runny.

Look at each Labrador puppy, whether or not that specific one is of interest to you. Do they all have shining, clear, clean eyes? Are their coats clean and glossy? Are they alert and playful? Even if the best puppy has been reserved for you, the health of its litter mates will tell you much about the general care they receive.

Taking Home Your Own Labrador Puppy

When you find the Labrador puppy you want, arrange to have it examined by your own veterinarian as soon as possible after you pick it up from the breeder. Have the vet assure the puppy is in good health.

Puppy Teeth Need More Than Human Fingers to Chew On

Puppy teeth care isn’t something most new puppy owners think about. After all, house training is a lot more compelling when you bring that new puppy home. But if you want your puppy to grow into a dog with health teeth, you need to think about puppy teeth.

In order for a dog to have healthy teeth throughout his life, he needs dog dental care. Establishing a routine of dog dental care when your dog is a puppy will make that dental care much easier for the whole of your dog’s life.

When a dog gets older, it’s common for a dog to have dental problems. White teeth turn brown. Gums get tender. Breath turns foul. Some dogs get broken teeth. Some get bleeding gums or gums oozing pus. Some dogs get growths in their mouths. None of this is pretty, nor is it comfortable for the dog.

You can find dog dental care products at nearly any pet store. The easiest way to keep your dog’s teeth healthy is with dental chews. Puppies love to chew and they’ll wrap their little puppy teeth around pretty much anythingincluding your fingers. Although it’s good for your puppy to chew, you want your puppy to chew on something appropriate, like dog dental chews.

There’s been some debate about the safety of the well-known chews, Greenies. I’ve never given my dog Greenies, but some dog parents say they’re great. If you decide to give your puppy greenies, be aware that according to a CNN investigation, since 2003, 40 dogs have had to have pieces of Greenies surgically removed, and 13 of those dogs died. Of course, that’s a small number given that over 750 million Greenies have been sold since 1998.

Better than chews, of course, are rinses or pastes that you put on your dog’s teeth and gums. Even better than that is brushing your dog’s teeth. You can find tooth brushes especially for dog dental care at any pet supply store.

Whether you choose rinses, pastes, or brushing, the best way to prevent dog dental problems is to establish a good dog dental care routine on puppy teeth. When you can get a puppy used to having her teeth brushed or having a paste or rinse applied, you’re well on your way to preventing many dog dental problems. You want to get your puppy used to having you touch her mouth and teeth (and not only when she’s trying to chew on you.)

If you take just a little time to get the right supplies and just a bit of time to begin using them on your puppy, you’ll be doing your puppy AND you a big favor. Your puppy will grow into a healthier dog (with fewer expensive problems) when you pay attention to the care of puppy teeth.

Tips for Finding the Perfect Purebred Dog or Puppy

Finding a Dog 101 – Dogs are fantastic companions, and love you no matter what, but remember:

Dogs DO take time! Remember, just like us, they are social animals who do not like being left alone. You can’t just stick them out in the yard or leave them in the house alone all the time and expect everything to be all right. Many types of behavioral problems occur just as a result of this one thing. Do you honestly have ample time every day to spend walking, feeding, cleaning up after, grooming, exercising and playing with your dog? And dogs often live for ten to fifteen years, so enter into this as a seriously long-term commitment.

Dogs DO cost money. There are food requirements which vary from dog to dog. They will need regular health care as well including: shots, wormings, check ups, etc. Some dog breeds will additionally need regular grooming. Puppies will damage things in your house from time to time – it’s a fact. Finding a dog may lead to things being replaced more often. You will have to do more cleaning from time to time – shedding fur, etc.

Dogs DO require ample space which can vary from breed to breed. Take the time to research ALL the requirements needed for all breeds you may be interested in. Do you live in an apartment? A duplex/townhouse or condo? A single family home? Do you have a securely fenced yard or access to a securely fenced in area for your dog to play in? If not, can you seriously make some other kind of suitable and realistic arrangements for your dog to get adequate DAILY exercise? Finding a dog requires a lot of forethought and planning.

1) Be Honest. Finding a dog can take some time. First of all, do you really want a dog? Is a purebred dog perfect for you? Or would you be just as happy adopting a dog from the local animal shelter or rescue organization in your area?

2) So you still really want a dog even will all the needs listed above in mind …

If you can honestly answer all these needs mentioned above with a positive response then you’re ready for step 2.

So now, you must now ask yourself:

Finding a Dog 101 – What breed of purebred dog do you want?

Research, research, research! Before selecting a purebred puppy breed you must first carefully consider many things about yourself and your family, such as: your exercise schedule, your own personality, your family and home situation, what you expect of your dog (watchdog, companion for your children, hunting, etc.), whether you live in a house with a fenced yard or in an apartment/duplex/condo, etc. You want to honestly match the dog’s needs to yours as closely as possible for the best match possible. Finding a dog takes plenty of forethought and research.

For example, if you’re athletically inclined, you don’t want a doggie couch potato – a dog that has low exercise needs. If you’re a couch potato yourself, you don’t want a purebred puppy that needs a lot of exercise.

First, DO NOT decide on any dog breed based on looks alone. When finding a dog take your time and do lots of research BEFORE making any new kind of new doggie addition to your family. The eight major purebred dog groups found in the AKC in particular (Sporting, Hound, Working, Terrier, Toy, Non-Sporting, Herding and Miscellaneous) is a great place to start. Feel free to use the dog breed resources on our site as a good place to start as well. We offer many individual dog breed profiles including lots of in-depth information on many kinds of purebred dog…

Finding a Dog 101 – Next: Selecting Your Dog. Do you want an adult or puppy?

Almost everyone wants a puppy. Puppies are lots of fun and can be easy to train and socialize, but they require a lot of time and care. Adult dogs often require less care overall than puppies but may have developed some types of behavioral or socialization problems during their life. If you are more inclined to get an adult dog, one good choice to start with is a rescue dog, possibly from a local shelter or rescue organization. There are many shelters and breed rescue groups available which can be visited on the internet, via the phone or in person depending on your area and finding a dog in one of these places can potentially mean saving it’s life. Sometimes these organizations may have puppies for adoption as well.

Finding a Dog 101 – Where is the best place to find a dog or puppy?

First, consider adopting a dog from a shelter or purebred dog rescue organization. Way too many dogs are euthanized each year, and you might just find a dog – the perfect companion for you, at the local pound or through a rescue group for your favorite breed. And you saved a life in the process!

Second, find a “real” breeder. A real breeder of purebred dogs usually belongs to a breed club for their specific dog breed as well as belonging to several other dog related organizations. Additionally, many purebred dog breeders may be involved in showing their own dogs or participating in other dog related activities as agility, lure coursing or herding events. Finding purebred dogs or purebred puppies here means you have a much better chance at learning about the dogs ancestors, breed health problems, littermates, seeing the actual living conditions the puppy was raised in, and have a resource for future questions and a new friend for the life of your new dog.

Other very important things to look for in a purebred dog breeder – do they: provide references; have a clean kennel with healthy, well-socialized animals; provide a pedigree and registration application form; give you written instructions on feeding, training and care; provide a written contract with conditions of sale and warranty; give you a record of vaccinations and wormings?

Are the breeders: interested in your qualifications to be an owner of one of their precious puppies (your home and family situation, etc); insistent that you take the purebred puppy to a vet for a check-up immediately after purchase; insistent that you continue with vaccinations and wormings on a regular basis; encouraging the relationship between you and the breeder as a continuing one; there for you on an “on-call” basis with ANY future questions or problems that you may have about you new puppy or dog?

Places to avoid when finding a dog:

Pet shop. These poor puppies are often poorly bred and raised in the most terrible living conditions. You’ll never get a chance to see the parents, littermates or the actual original home they were bred in and you will never know what kind of inherited health problems they have until way too late. Finding a dog here means a potential lifetime of health problems as well as the potential to carry on this awful practice of puppy milling by supporting the sellers of their animals.

Backyard breeders. Typically these are people who own a dog but are not knowledgeable at all in the details about the breed, inherent health problems and risks, history of their dogs (other than their “papers”), etc. and think it will be “fun” or maybe even “profitable” to have a litter of puppies. Any dog breeders who lets you handle a very young puppy, shows signs of neglect (such as lack of water, and dirty conditions) in their kennel, are willing to sell a puppy under seven weeks of age are not looking out for the puppies best interest. Leave and find a reputable breeder asap! Finding a dog here also means many potential problems and no real support for your new puppy in the future.

We suggest you take your time when searching for your new canine companion. Call breeders, visit their websites if possible, contact parent clubs for references for reputable breeders in your area. The more research you do BEFORE you bring your new companion home, the better off everyone, including the new doggie, will be.

Finding a Vet for your Puppy

This article will assist you with finding a vet for the newest member of your family.

One of the most important requirements in selecting a vet for your new puppy is communication. You need a vet that will speak to you, not down to you as if you were not intelligent. Your puppy’s health depends on you and you need to feel comfortable with this vet. Does the vet take time to answer all your questions or are they in a hurry to go on to the next patient? Does the vet speak in medical jargon or do they explain procedures, conditions and treatment options in layman’s terms? It is very important that you understand your puppy’s health conditions and treatment options so you can decide what is best for your animal.

If you are a new pet owner or have just moved to a new community it may take a few days or weeks to find a vet. Asking for recommendations from friends that have dogs, breeders or local breed groups may assist you in your search for a vet. Please keep in mind that a vet that does marvelous with your neighbors toy poodle may not be a perfect fit for your little Rottweiler puppy that grows up to weigh 120 pounds. Make sure the vet is comfortable with your puppy as well as your puppy being comfortable with the vet.

Finding a well established vet who offers on site lab work ups and x-rays are a plus. If lab work has to be sent to an outside facility, it usually means the cost is more and there may be a delay of receiving the results. This may not be the case, so it would be wise to discuss this with the vet or office personnel before making any decision. Cost of vet care may vary with area and the office set up of the vet. Before you decide on the vet who will take care of your puppy please consider all of the following:

Will I be able to make a same day appointment to see the vet?

Does vet offer 24 hour emergency services or are they affiliated with animal hospital in the immediate area?

Is vet’s office clean?

Is the staff friendly to you and your animal?

Are the technicians licensed?

Does vet have a fee schedule that you may have?

Is pet insurance accepted?

Does vet accept credit cards and does vet have payment plan?

Does the vet answer all your questions and not rush you out the door?

Does the vet make referrals to specialists? If so, is the specialists close by?

Finding a vet for your puppy is the same as finding a doctor for yourself. You want someone who is qualified and caring. No matter how qualified a doctor is in his/her field, you would not go to them if they were rude and uncommunicative. Once you decide on a vet, take your puppy in for a check up. The vet will let you know what shots your puppy needs and if they need to place your puppy on preventive heart worm medication or flea preventive medication. Make sure you get all the shots for your puppy and follow the schedule the vet gives you. There are certain shots that will be given to your dog through out his life.

After two or three visits to the vet you should know if your puppy is happy to see the vet and if you feel comfortable. If there are any concerns, you should bring this to the attention of the vet or office staff. If you feel uncomfortable you always have the option of finding another vet. Remember it is you and the vet working together that will keep your puppy healthy and happy.

The cost of veterinary care is on the rise just like medical care for humans. Also with all the new advances in vet care our furry friends are able to live longer healthier lives. It would be advisable to have pet insurance on your new family member and belong to an organization like PetCare RX for all your prescription and non prescription items.

Dog Health Care Article: How To Care For a Teething Puppy

It seems that no amount of rawhide bones, nyla bones, or chewy toys you provide will keep a teething puppy from finding something to chew on that they shouldn’t chew on. I thought I had learned from experience to provide an abundance of chewy items. I thought I had provided my pup with so many items that it made my nocturnal meanderings a life taking risk. Yet, my pup found, chewed and punctured my tracking boots. Thus providing me with another topic to write about.

Puppies should have a full set of 28 baby teeth by the time they are 8 weeks old: fourteen teeth on each of the upper and lower jaws. During the next five months the baby teeth will be replaced by the adult teeth. There are 42 adult teeth, 21 on each jaw.

If you have a dog that you may be considering showing in conformation, you need to monitor the growth of the teeth ensuring that they do fall out and grow in on time. Like human children, if the baby teeth are not replaced on time it may cause deformities in the adult teeth. A veterinarian may need to extract a tooth so that the other teeth will grow in straight. Sometimes the owner of a dog may help by working on loosening a tooth, much the same way as a child works on loosening a tooth so that the Tooth Fairy comes.

Chewing on items is a form of massaging the gums for puppies. Not only does it reduce discomfort but it also helps loosen a tooth and also helps break the skin on the gums so that a new tooth can come through. Providing ample items to chew on will help. However, be careful what you provide. Do not give old shoes and socks, as puppies cannot differentiate between old and new items. Keep all chewable items off the floor and out of reach of the pup. Nothing is safe from a chewing pup including furniture and walls. When you cannot be observing your pup, it is wise to crate it. Provide plenty of chewy items so that it doesn’t become bored and chew on itself or the crate.

If you have any concerns regarding the growth and development of your puppies teeth, contact your veterinarian who can provide you with advice and timelines for when to expect each of the teeth.

My Best Job: Taking Care of a Black Labrador Puppy

When considering what kind of puppy to get, a dog such as a black Labrador puppy would be a good choice for someone looking for a dog that can work well with a family, have few health problems, or provide a lifetime of companionship. A black Labrador puppy will be able to grow up and provide all of that and more for its owners, making this choice a smart one.

Traits Of A Black Labrador Puppy

Thankfully, for the owner that does not want to put up with too many problems, the Labrador retriever is known as one of the more mellow breeds of dogs. It also has a great track record for working with children. As far as bringing home a dog that will work well in a family atmosphere and allow the owner to feel safe leaving the dog alone with the children, a Labrador retriever would be a perfect match.

As with all good things, there are some less desirable ones. In the case of a dog like the black Labrador puppy (and all variations and ages of this breed), it will eat whatever is put in front of it. Therefore, it is up to the owner to monitor what the dog is eating and make sure it does not overeat which would result in various health problems.

These dogs are also known for being highly energetic, willing to play catch with a ball or Frisbee for long periods of time. The exercise outside that this dog gets is what keeps it in shape and the owner must be available to play with it. In order for this dog to remain healthy, an owner must be willing to spend time outside with it by playing the aforementioned game of catch or taking it for a walk. A black Labrador puppy will have an added level of energy and the owner must be ready for that.

A dog like the black Labrador puppy is an ideal one for people with a family. It is also a coveted dog for hunters and people who spend plenty of time outdoors. A potential owner must weigh these traits and determine if this is the right dog because that will ultimately decide the happiness of both the owner and the dog in the long run.

How to Take Care of a New Puppy

Puppy training actually begins the moment you bring a new puppy into your home. The first week is very important. Everyone in the family needs to be on the same page when it comes to the routine, responsibility and rules that will be set for the newest member of the family. This is also a good time to be thinking about pet insurance, as small puppies have yet to develop a strong immune system or sense of danger, and the new environment could contain many potential hazards, most of which could seem perfectly harmless! Animal Friends Insurance is one provider which can offer you a range of dog insurance plans to suit your needs and budget, including full lifetime cover for your new puppy.

The first few days in your puppys new home are extremely important and will be a time of much excitement and joy. However, remember your new puppy has just been taken away from the only place he has ever known and is very vulnerable and impressionable. You have to set up a routine and rules from the start. Puppies are very smart and will learn very quickly.

First you need to set up a special place for the newest member of your home. Puppies need security and a set routine. Set up a small room to be their own special safe place for the next couple of weeks or so. Make sure you paper the entire floor and put down food and water bowls, a bed and scatter plenty of toys around.

Try playing with your puppy quietly and gently. If your pup seems to be tired, leave him alone in his special place and let him sleep. Puppies are like babies, they need lots of sleep. Puppies are so irresistible and most people want to give them whatever they want. If you allow that to happen now when the pup becomes older you will find you may have problems breaking bad habits.

Never hit your puppy. They dont mean to be bad or misbehave- they are just doing what comes naturally to them. Show the pup what kind of behavior you want and teach him how to play with his toys. Make sure that you show him how happy you are that he is chewing on his toys and not your furniture.

We all know that puppies are chewing machines. That is why it is important to have plenty of chew toys around for them to use. When you see the pup start to chew on your furniture or a shoe, immediately grab one of their toys and get the pups attention. When the pup starts to play and chew on its toy make sure to praise them profusely. This shows them that you are happy with what they are doing. This shows them that when they do certain things which make you happy they will receive attention. You want to reward the good behavior and not the bad.

Puppies have to be watched over very closely for the first few days until they figure out what their boundaries are. They have to be shown what is acceptable to be chewed on and what is not. They are just doing what comes naturally and dont know any better. If you are not available to watch over them make sure they dont have access to places where they can get into trouble. This is where a baby gate can come in handy if you want the pup to be around the family during the day but out of harms way.

Routines are especially important to establish with your puppy. Having a set routine gives your puppy security and helps to keep him calm and not fearful. If you and other family members will be gone during the day or on certain nights you need to get the pup accustomed to being alone. Every time the puppy whines resist the urge to comfort him.

One of the first things to take care of after the puppy is settled into its new home is to make an appointment with your veterinarian. Make sure to do this right away and to set up the schedule for vaccinations. Vaccinations are very important because puppies are susceptible to many canine diseases. Take out a comprehensive pet insurance policy too, as vets bills for unexpected mishaps and illnesses can be very expensive.

If you establish a routine and rules from the start, everyone, including your puppy, will be able to form a bond that will last a lifetime. Puppies grow up very quickly and you will want to be able to enjoy all of the different stages they will go through. When you get frustrated with potty training and the chewing, just remember it will pass and soon you will be over the hardest part of the adjustment period. Like raising a baby, puppies need a lot of love, attention and special care. In return you will get devotion, love and loyalty from the newest four-legged member of your family.

Taking Care Of A New Puppy – Tips And Advice On What To Expect

When you make the decision to get a new household member of the small fluffy furry kind there are several things you should know about taking care of a new puppy before you go and look at them.

You first of all need to decide what breed of dog you want although taking care of a new puppy of any breed requires the same attention when they are young but they do grow very quickly and you do not want to get a breed that will grow into a big dog if you feel that you will not be able to take care of it as you did when it was young.

When you bring a puppy home, he or she will usually be around 8 weeks old. Most good breeders will not allow them to leave their mother much before this date. Taking care of a new puppy at this young age requires a warm room and a warm place to sleep. You will also need to have several supplies for taking care of your new puppy. At that time, you will find that you need to make sure that you have several supplies ready. You should have a place that the puppy can be during the day, where he can play, eat, and piddle, without a problem.

Young Puppies:

If you are taking care of a new puppy that has just been born and is still with the mother you need to have an environment where you can have the puppies where you can easily control the temperature, and you have to be sure that the puppies are warm. You also should provide a place that is safe for them so that they don’t get hurt by accident. You will also need to make sure that the mother is comfortable with fresh drinking water at all times. Taking care of a new puppy at this stage must be carefully monitored to ensure that the mother does not accidentally trample on or suffocate her new puppies.

One of the best general puppy care tips in taking care of your new puppy is that you need to remember to socialize your puppy. No matter what kind of puppy you have, you will see that it is important you socialize them all of the time. Your puppy will be fine around anything you want, as long as you expose them to these things when they are young. This means that you have to let them be around children and babies and other animals to make sure that they are socialized but only when they reach about eight weeks old.

Safe And Healthy

When taking care of a new puppy there are many general puppy care tips that involve keeping your dog safe and healthy. You will need to take your puppy to the vets so that he or she can be checked over and weighed and given any appropriate medication. You will also be given advice on taking care of your new puppy with the type and amounts of food and exercise you should be giving to him or her. The vet will also advise you when its vaccinations, worming and flea treatments are due.

One of the best general puppy care tips that you can get is to make sure that your puppy has the proper amount of love. It might sound silly, but a puppy needs love to thrive on more than anything. You have to be sure that you are always being kind and gentle with your puppy, because that is the best way to have your puppy grow into the dog you want him to be. Taking care of a new puppy is hard work and it will require commitment and training from you but the rewards of taking care of a new puppy far outweigh the work involved. You must remember that one day the little puppy will grow into a dog and will be relying on you for the next 10-15 years.

Puppy Potty Training

WHAT IS HOUSETRAINING?

House training is teaching your puppy not to use your house as their personal bathroom. Contrary to some pet owners, proper crate training methods are not cruel or unkind to your pet. Being kept outside for years because you didnt teach them that using your living room as a bathroom was not ok is truly cruel to a social animal like a puppy. Here are a number of Important Tips for Successful potty training a puppy

TIP 1 Never Scold or Punish your puppy. Dogs have few cognitive reasoning skills, if any. This means that hitting or yelling at your puppy will most likely result in confusion for your pet and not correction. So even if you are frustrated, dont ever hit, smack, or abuse your pet either physically or verbally.

TIP 2 OK, next tip is to be consistent in your house breaking efforts. Take your puppy outside immediately after a feeding. Dont wait for them to have an accident. The majority of puppies also cannot hold their water with a full tummy. A full stomach pushes on the bladder. By taking them out at regular times, you lower the possibility of accidents. You also gain the opportunity to give your pup praise when they go the bathroom outside where you want them to go.

TIP 3 Speaking of consistency, use only one word to mean one thing. Dont use Bathroom one time, then potty the next. Your pet has enough trouble figuring out what you want without having you use different words that mean the same.

TIP 4 Watch your pet when inside your home. Penning your puppy isnt the same as house breaking. Your puppy needs to be confined to their crate whenever you cannot actively watch them. It only takes a few seconds for an accident to happen so you need keep a watchful eye to limit accidents. The biggest problem with potty training a puppy is the need to remain consistent. The idea of moving a dog crate from the living room to the bedroom at night can be a chore. The answer to this problem is a portable doggie crate available only from the site below.
