Health
We remove the dew claws when they are very young. All puppies are wormed at 2, 4, and 6 weeks of age. At 6 weeks they are taken to the vet for a well puppy check so we know they are all healthy. They get their first shots at that time too, using Duramune Max 5.
Care
The puppies nurse from their mother for about the first five weeks of their life, then they start to wean onto puppy food. We feed them Diamond Puppy, in the purple bag, which can be found at places like Ace, Lewis, and Fleet Farm.
We keep the puppies and mom in our shed. It is insulated, heated, and cooled so they are comfortable in any weather. Mom has a chance to get out an exercise while the puppies stay safely in the whelping box until they are old enough to join her outside.

Delivery
We have some people come out to the farm and pick out their puppy at 4-5 weeks of age when they start showing more personality. Others decide to pick the puppy up when it’s able to go home with them, at 8 weeks. Our puppies always go directly from our family to yours!
If we have enough interested people from Northern MN area or Fargo area, we would be willing to deliver part-way. We meet people in Mankato more often.
Color
Our lab puppies will be lighter in color, like their parents. That coloring for a Labrador Retriever is called ivory, but is commonly referred to as white as well. We also have some litters of Goldador puppies which will vary in color from lighter to darker! There also will be black puppies at times with adding Griff to the family! Our Golden Retriever puppies are a mix of light and dark as well!
