Puppies ----

We take $500.00 down for deposit to reserve a pup for a certain sex and color. Balance of
$700.00 due on the day you pick up your pup equalling $1200.00 total. With most of our litters, if you
are reserving before they are born the first one to bring or send a deposit for a certain sex and color
gets first pick. If you are the second person to send a check for the same sex and color then you would
get second pick, and so on. They usually have anywhere from 8 to 13 pups. Usually close to half and
half on the sexes also.

Pups stay with us till around 8 weeks. If that time falls on an inconvenient time for you we are
flexible about keeping them a couple weeks longer. Such as vacations or holidays that might take you
away from your pup for a extended time. We want them to get off to a good start.

Unless breeder says otherwise, By 6 weeks of age you will be required to make your choice of
which pup will be yours so we can start showing the rest to sell or so the other people below you can
see who is still available. At this age they like attention from people. You can come and play with the
pups as early as 3 weeks old. But they are only starting to play with each other at that age. 5 weeks is
when they are much more interested in interacting with you.

If you can not come out by specified age then you will be required to make a choice through
pictures & videos.

We keep them up to date on all medical needs (as our vets standards) while they are in our care. Dew
claws removed at 3 days, dewormed & parvo shot around 5 weeks, & first shots at 8 weeks. Then
they need to have a couple more sets of puppy shots when they go to their new homes. Whenever they
leave our care you are responsible to continue there needs.

Final payment is due at the time of receiving pup. Any checks received must clear bank first so
usually people bring final payment in cash. We give receipts for deposits and cash payments.

You will receive your AKC Registration forms to register your pup in your name. You will also be given
a Hip & Eye Guarantee Contract. You will be given photo's of parents, copies of any background that
we have on them. Such as OFA certificates, Pedigree's, other certificates, and any copies we have on
their ancestors.

You also will be required to pick up and pay for pup in full by a certain time ( no later than 10
weeks of age ). Just so that we wouldn't be expected to keep the dog forever for you. If you back out
of the deal AFTER you have a pup to be held for you at 4 weeks of age, or don't make final payment
by time you signed for, then at that time you would forfeit your deposit.

The reason we do this is the pups need to start bonding with their new family, and to protect us also.
Because ads cost us over $100 a week. If we take that pup off the market and all others of that same
sex or color have been sold then we turn people away for that sex and color. Then if we were to have
someone back out we would use the deposit to run ads again.

Our current litters are sold Limited Registration.
We always reserve the right to take first pick over our customers.

Good luck on your search for a pup. Remember getting a cheaper price on a Lab does not always turn
out in the long run to be a good deal. Do your research on the backgrounds of BOTH parents. Make
sure they have in hand pedigree's and OFA Certificates. If the dogs have Preliminary OFA's they
should have certificates on those also.

We give our new puppy owners a book on all the ancestors. It can be about 30 to 75 (or sometimes
more) pages of pedigree's, OFA's, OFEL's, CERF'S, Titles and points, awards received, and pictures
of most of the ancestors. Most of our dogs are from several generations back of our own
breedings. So we know what their temperament was, and no skin allergies or other troublesome
health issues that some dogs pass on to their offspring. Most the time we even have 3 generations
here for you to see when you come visit us.

We try to take weekly pictures or video's of the litters from the time they are born so you can see
them grow and interact with each other. We post them on the website as soon as we take them so you
can view them at your convenience and be a part of their lives even from afar. We encourage you to
come out several times to sit and play with them for an hour or so at a time so you can pick out what
you think will be a good match for your family. That also allows plenty of time for questions and ideas.

If you are mailing a deposit please make it out to Christine Ruff. Make sure you email us and let
us know you are sending a check for a certain sex and color. If you have a preference as to
which mom you may also write that down also. We also need all your contact info with your
deposit. We will send out a conformation email to confirm your place in the picking order as soon as
we receive your deposit. Your check will not be cashed until the pups are born and we know we have
enough of that sex to sell to you. Once the puppies are born we will email you a deposit
receipt/contract for you to sign stating what order you will be choosing your pup.

Thanks for your interest in our Labs and if you have anymore questions please let us know.
