There Is Much To Consider When Looking For Silver Labrador Retriever Puppies For Sale

By Paula Barron


For any family deciding to purchase a pet tends to be a very big decision and should not be taken lightly. Especially if looking for a specific breed or even a unique color, it is best to first investigate to find a reputable breeder. This is also true when looking for silver Labrador Retriever puppies for sale.

The demand for these unusually muted colored "Labs" have grown immensely over the last few years, despite all the controversy surrounding their color. Top kennels do however post pictures of both parents and this still gives a good indication of what stock the pup actually comes from. There are a few disreputable kennels that tend to be asking higher prices for these unique dogs but that is to be expected.

This breeding for profit has resulted in a very negative image on reputable breeders that have a responsible method of obtaining these muted colors in their litters. Crossing bloodlines to specifically achieve a controlled mutation is almost an every day occurrence when it comes to animals. But no matter how they came about one will notice that they all still have the same basic traits relating to this breed.

The majority of registered kennel websites gives one the opportunity to view litters that are available, you can also go on to see pictures of previously sold dogs or get an update on which litters are still going to be born. Scrutinizing picture of litters will greatly aid in helping one to make an unbiased choice. This is also a good way of preventing one from making an impulse buy resulting in any kind of buyers' remorse.

After going through all the kennels' websites you should then set up an appointment to physically go see where they are situated and view the parents of the litter that you are interested in. It is suggested that you still take some time to think about the chosen pup. If you are concerned that it may be sold you can make a refundable deposit so as to reserve the dog you may want.

None of these breeders will sell any of their puppies before completely weaning them off the mother. Registration documents and their health certificates should be ready for collection on the day that you fetch your new "baby". A particular breeder goes the extra mile in giving you peace of mind by guaranteeing their dogs for 26 months against developing hip dysplasia.

All their Lab puppies are given with a folder full of detailed instructions and important information related to that specific dog. Furthermore they make sure that socially the puppy is adapted to any type of situation and treat all their litters as part of their family. One thing that must be noted is that the AKC will register the puppy as chocolate and not silver, this is due to a breeder dispute that arose.

This predicament has also lead to many not wanting to recognize this muted chocolate colored Labrador. But when one compares them there really is no difference in their make up. However, no matter what, silver Labrador Retriever puppies for sale will not disappoint on the loyal and lovable scale. Make sure you locate a reputable breeder before committing to a pup.
