 There are no exceptions to my policies.  If you have no fence, live in an apartment or condo, have children under the age of five years old, or can't accept keeping an intact dog, keep looking for a dog elsewhere.

Here are some resources to help you find a nice pup or retired show dog.

The Labrador Retriever Clubs are an excellent way to begin looking for a nice Labrador. Please use the club links to locate good breeders.

 

Grampian's POLICIES FOR PLACING DOGS

 

Grampian Labradors have bottom lines  when selecting homes for the dogs bred here .  You can try and persuade me otherwise, but I won’t budge on any of the following:

 

I reserve the right to change my mind about a dog placement at any stage of the interview process.

 

If you intend to neuter a male dog to 'fix' problems, get a dog from a breeder who doesn't care about this.  You will not get a dog from me if this is your intention.  Unless it's a medical issue, a male Labrador retriever should be allowed to keep his hormones.  It's not a gender issue.  It is always a training issue.  Lazy humans is not an excuse to surgically alter your dog.

 

If you haven't sent the form below, you will not be invited to visit our home for an interview at any time.

 

I do not accept deposits.  Either we like each other or we don't.

 

All our dogs are meant as COMPANION dogs.  I do not sell dogs with full registrations.  I keep the dogs that will be bred in the future and never sell anyone a dog that is meant to be bred by anyone other than myself.

 

I will not place a dog with anyone living in an apartment or condo.

 

I will not place a dog with any couple expecting their first child or a newborn baby.

 

I will not place a young dog with anyone with kids under the age of reason (at least five years old).  Ask me about an appropriate older retired adult instead!

 

I do not sell dogs intended as service dogs or to be trained as service dogs.  Neither will I sell dogs intended as a personal therapy dog or one intended to be trained as one for another organization.

 

I will not place two two in any one household at the same time. I suggest you wait a minimum of six months between dogs.

 

A fenced yard is necessary (not Invisible Fence, a mesh or a chicken wire or temporary fence... it must be chain link, PVC or stockade or any other type of secure real fence).

 

I will not place any dog in a home that permits free roaming as country dogs do.  If your property abuts open land or sanctuary property you still need a fence.  No exceptions.

 

Further, I don't like to give dogs as surprise gifts at any time of year.  I want to meet all the family members who will be in contact with our dogs before I agree to letting one go.  Please don't ask me to sell you a dog as a gift for someone else.  I will refuse you.

 

If you still 'need' a dog despite all our cautions, and you fell you can't meet all the above expectations, you're welcome to look elsewhere.  You won't get one from Grampian..
