Hi! Thank you for your videos, that are really helpful. Could you please make a video about prices of puppies and one with all the expenses and income sin a kennel? I would like to breed, but not sure if it pays off. You have to have another job and a kennel requires lots of time
Wow ,your labs are beautiful, i just found your channel ,I have 2 Labs myself Cooper is a 6 and half year black Lab (part lab part pony he is 120lbs lol) and i just got Cali a beautiful green eyed brown lab puppy last month and she is a liitle hellion ,both these dogs are family pets but i was thinking about breeding them once or twice before i get her fixed whats your thoughts on that
I am working with a reputable breeder. I am planning to pick up my female puppy personally in January. She charges $500 extra for full registration with breeding rights. She has one available now, but I'm not quite ready as I am moving this Summer. It will be another 2 years plus before first litter. Its a long term commitment. I hate puppy mills with a passion!! We must report abuse when we see it. Thank you for a great video.
Hi! Could you please tell me the full price of the puppy you are buying? I’m researching how much is a puppy with full registration, not neutered (and the breed) it would be helpful. I truly want to breed some breed from the group V of FCI
@@ieraiacevedo8397 Hi, I just read your comment and I thought I’d share my buying experience with you. I bought my pure bred English Labrador Retriever a little over 2 years ago. I had to go out of my county because they were so expensive, the cheapest one I found was $2300.00. I found my darling little girl about 90 minutes from where I live, she was much cheaper at, $800.00, but if you wanted the rights to breed and get the AKC for registration, the cost was $200.00. I now realize how lucky I was, after listening to his videos, he mentioned that the fee is usually $300.00 and higher. I was able to Register my pup easily, they ask you to give your dog two names, there can’t be duplicate names at the AKC. We named her Rylie Mae, I had to change the spelling, but it worked and I like it better, it seems more feminine then masculine. I hope that my answer to you helped. So altogether I spent $1000.00 for her with the AKC and the rights to breed. Have you decided on what breed you’re getting? Good Luck and enjoy breeding, it really is a lot of work, but it’s so much fun! Watching those pups grow and seeing their personalities form. And those 8 weeks go by pretty fast!! So enjoy while you can. Bye 🐶. 🦮 🐕🦺 🐩
Great tips! I have a question. When you are looking to buy a dog from a breeder for the purposes of breeding. What are some things you should say, or not say? Should I be describing my goals? Should I be asking for mentorship?
There’s a lot of ground to cover here. I’ll probably address this question in another q & a video. When you’re talking to the Breeder about buying breeding stock for your business you want to be honest and stick to the business at hand. Tell them exactly what you’re looking for and ask them to be honest about whether or not they have it. You can mention your specific goals for that puppy and ask if it’s a good fit for what they’re selling. As for mentorship… That’s a completely different conversation to have after you’ve established some trust and credibility.
Hello! Haven’t found this question answered. At what age do you start to separate puppies from the mother. Not at what age do you give them or sell them but when do you start keeping them In different areas?
Great question! 5 weeks is normal for Labradors here. We move them out of our home and into our puppy habitat. Kennel tour part 2 shows this. Here’s a link: ua-cam.com/video/KhzU48vzuJs/v-deo.html Mom still gets regular access, but not full time. 👍
Great Video thanks! I am just starting out and looking into purchasing dogs. I was just wondering if it matters if a dog is not listed as having a champion blood line/Sire? If the breeder has great reviews and the puppies have full AKC registration does lack of a champion blood line or sire matter?
Great question! Does champion blood line matter? That depends entirely on who you are talking to. Some people want that very much and are willing to pay top dollar for it. Others could care less and won’t pay the extra money that champion pedigree pups sell for. It is typical for the champion lines to sell for at least twice the price of non champions lines. There are also far less customers looking for expensive dogs. I suggest you choose which market you want to deal with and buy accordingly.
My precious lab died after 13 years it’s been two or three years within that time I’ve developed allergies what do you think of Labradoodles your opinion please
I’ve never owned a Labradoodle but I have met a few. They seem to be wonderful pets! The owners report the excellent temperament and behavior of a Lab. That combined with the hypoallergenic benefits of the Poodle breeds and you can have the best of both with this mix. I would suggest you spend some time around them and see if it’s a good fit for you. 👍 Alan
I've noticed it's very hard to find a reputable breeder for doodles. It really depends what you're looking for in a dog. No doodle is guaranteed to be low allergy and many breeders will lie about their puppies to sell them :(
Sadly, doodles are rarely hypoallergenic. The idea behind them was to make hypoallergenic guide dogs. After just 4 litters the program was scrapped because they produced only a couple of hypoallergenic puppies in four litters. Please don't believe the hypoallergenic claims. If you want a true hypoallergenic dog, there are quite a few purebred breeds that will suit you, including the poodle, the bichon frise, lagotto romagnolo, Portuguese water dog, the list goes on. Do a little research and you'll find a good, reputable breeder that will have the right pup for you.
I am allergic to dogs but I have two short-haired dogs. When you live with a dog you develop antibodies and your allergy will pass. Your love for the dig will help. That loving hormone also boosts your immunity. New mums and dads have loads of it too, just when they are so knackered that they would otherwise get really run down.
Hi I’m Interested on becoming a dog breeder, but I don’t know here to start is there a chance you can talk to me over the phone and perhaps answer some of the most crucial question that I have?
I’d be glad to! I offer one on one coaching. Here is a link to the coaching page on my website. All the details are there: www.mustlovelabs.com/coaching
Hi sir. I enjoy your content, I have a question if you don't mind, how does the spay neuter contract work? in other words, how do they "force" you to fix your dog? I'm planning on getting a female chihuahua from a breeder (an apple head chihuahua, not as easy to find) not that I want to become a breeder but I want to have the option of having my dog to have puppies in a future.
Great question! There are a couple of things to consider here. First off if you give your word in a contract to spay or neuter a dog then you should. Secondly it’s not really very enforceable but what they can do is prevent you from registering the puppies of your dog. So if you agree to spay or neuter and then you go back on your word and choose not to the breeder who sold you the dog can prevent you from registering the puppies. That’s all based on AKC registrations by the way. Other registries might not be so enforceable. In summary if you don’t intend to spay or neuter your dog then you should never agreed to do so in writing. Just find a dog from a different breeder that doesn’t require that.
Hi. Love your channel. Having had labs as family pets over the past 20 years, we are considering breeding as we now have the time and space to do so. Just wondering would you advise buying a male and female at the same time, or would you advise to buy one first and then the other at a later stage? If the latter is the case, which would you buy first and how long would you wait to buy the other? Thanks in advance
Great question! I’d get a female first. Then get a male a year later. We like our females to be around two years old when they have their first litter of puppies. I discuss this at length in our video n How To Start A Breeding Program. Here’s a link to it ua-cam.com/video/7L1GkUswxUk/v-deo.html
I'm breeding Great Danes. I was told to breed her after her 1st heat. She is now in her 2nd heat, but she won't be 2 for another 5 months. Do you think this is OK?
With labradors we wait for the third heat. I don’t have any experience with Great Danes. I would check with your vet and see what they have to say. It might be fine. 👍
@@must_love_labs Thanks for your reply. I spoke with the breeder I bought her from. She said since the Danes are so big, they are safe to start breeding at the 2nd heat.
Omg I just saw breeder on puppy finder with a neuter contract or they’ll charge more without it. Great tip!!
Glad to help!

Where can you find puppies for purchase whereby which the breeders do not require a contract?
Great question! You really just need to shop around some. Not every breeder requires a contract… like me, for instance. 👍

Would you say stick to one dog breed 👍
Yes…and I recommend purebreds with pedigrees. 👍

Most breeders will trick you into buying a dog with a LIMITED AKC REGISTRATION (Orange and white colors).
Most clubs will trick you into thinking that official means official
