Breeding Hunter's Best Friend For Life

Our goal at Mossy Oak GameKeeper Kennels is to produce the finest hunting labs possible. Therefore, at our kennels the breeding selection process is never taken lightly. Much thought comes into play before the breeding sire and dam are selected. First, each sire and dame in our breeding cadre must be over two years old, trained, and must have been tested for and receive a passing report on hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, eye conditions, and DNA recessive genes such as PRCD, PRA, CNM and EIC. Any potential sires and dams falling below grade based on x-ray evaluations, ophthalmology evaluations, and genetic testing are automatically excluded from the breeding pool. Secondly, we compare attributes of each potential sire and dam in an attempt to mate only those dogs that reasonably assure us that the puppies resulting from the union will possess the health, biddability, and trainability attributes that we strive to produce. We then, to the greatest extent possible, track our puppies to reassure ourselves that we are meeting our pre-established goals for health, biddability, and trainability. A breeding will not be repeated if a puppy or puppies fail to meet our standards.

A $500 deposit is required to reserve a puppy. Puppies will be reserved based on sex and color. Final puppy selection by sex and color will be based solely on the date that the deposit check is received at the kennel, i.e., the first deposit check received gets first pick, the second gets second pick and so on. If litter size, color, and sex requirements limit the selection process and your requirements cannot be met, you can either request and receive a refund, change to opposite sex/color of same litter (if possible), or you can elect to have your deposit put down on a subsequent litter.

All puppies are priced at 2,000. After the 500 deposit, we require 1,500 due at pickup.
