First and foremost we only
breed a litter with the intention of keeping a puppy.
We breed Labrador Retrievers
for genetic soundness, temperament, Labrador conformation,
and retrieving ability. We pay careful attention to temperament
in selecting dogs for our breeding program. We strive to produce
quality dogs with excellent temperament, soundness, intelligence/trainability
and type.
We do not breed often. We are a HOBBY, not a business.
We are extremely particular about who adopts our Kelrobin
babies and therefore rarely sell out of the Michigan area
so we can assure our puppies of the proper home. All breeding stock has final
hip/elbow ratings. 
All breeding stock has a Cardiac
Clearance.
All breeding stock is cleared
of genetic eye anomalies annually using a ACVO eye exam.
We breed our own bitches only
to stud dogs meeting the above criteria.
Puppies are sold only to pre-qualified
(screened) purchasers by referral or application only (we
normally have a waiting list). Under absolutely NO circumstances
will a puppy or adult be sold or consigned to pet shops, other
commercial dealers or offered at auction.
We reserve the right to refuse
to sell a puppy to any individual(s) for any reason we see
fit.
All puppy buyers are required
to fill out a questionnaire. Serious
inquiries only for the current litter. We do
not keep questionnaires for future litters.
 General
health is guaranteed. Other guarantees & stipulations are
stated in our Puppy Contract.
Kelrobin puppies are born
and raised inside our home. They are provided a safe and clean
environment where they are watched carefully and receive lots
of human as well as other dog contact.
Puppies are wormed several
times as needed and are vaccinated at 6 weeks. We do not
remove dewclaws.
Puppy's temperaments are evaluated
and matched with purchasers whose lifestyles and desires are
compatible with the evaulation results. We will pick the best
puppy for you.
Since we normally do not choose
our own puppy before 6-7 weeks, we will not know which puppy
is yours until after that. 
Pet puppies are sold on Limited
Registration (which means the puppy cannot be bred or
shown in conformation but may be shown in obedience, agility,
hunt tests or any type of performance events) and
spay/neuter contracts -- without exception.
We only feed our puppies ProPlan
Chicken and Rice puppy food and require that our puppy
owners do the same.
We require that all puppies/dogs
sold by us will be indoor dogs, part of their new family.
Deposits are taken only after
the puppies are born. For this reason, deposits are
non-refundable unless we don't have the color/gender
you desire or the puppy is not available for delivery at 7-8
weeks of age.
All puppies are sent home
with microchips
inserted, plus a breeder-written puppy book which includes
articles on training, health & safety.
We will always stand by our
policy that any dog of our breeding will always be welcome
here. If, for any reason, you decide not to keep a Kelrobin
dog, please contact us and we will keep the dog until it can
be placed in a new home, however long that may be. We NEVER
want to see a dog of our breeding end up in a shelter.
