Breeder information:

               We here at Takoda Kennels do not breed our females every heat and are only a part-time kennel so we only have litters on occasion.  Takoda Kennels strives to produce healthy, sound, good tempered puppies that make great companions.  We occasionally breed for performance in the field and most of our dogs have many field or show titled dogs in their pedigrees, proving the possibility of field ability passed on to the puppies.  Not all of our breedings will produce the strong hunting instinct and are bred more for pet companion purposes.  Our field breedings produce puppies that also make great companions for the owner who is willing to take on a more spirited Labrador.  Although breeding plays a part in creating a good companion personality or hunting instinct, there is no guarantee on either trait if the owner does not further develop these characteristics.  We strongly recommend obedience training and socialization of the puppies once they reach their new homes. 

                 Our puppies come with a 27 month hip and eye guarantee that covers hip and retinal dysplasia, their first set of shots, vet checked, dew claws removed, and have been wormed at least twice against round and hook worms.  Proof of shots, a copy of the parents OFA certifications along with pedigrees of the parents is supplied upon pick-up.  We do not ship our puppies as of right now.  We charge a $10/day boarding fee if the puppy is left at our residence more than 2 days after the designated pick-up date.  We require a $100 non refundable deposit to hold your place in line on the litter of your choice.  We take deposits ahead of time and reserve the right to have first pick of any litter.  Prices range on litters from $650-$850 plus sales tax.  Puppies are going to be sold on limited registration starting January 2007.  Breeding rights will only be allowed on a case by case basis and only after the OFA and CERF certifications have been obtained.  We allow visitors by appointment only after the 4 week mark due to protection of the puppies lowered immune system.  We hope you enjoy the pictures and information provided here and please call or email for any additional information we can provide for you.  Thank you for your interest!
