Reserving A Puppy
Your first step is to fill out our puppy questionnaire to help better assist us in placing the perfect puppy in your home.
Please click the link below to fill out in detail.
All puppies are sold with Limited Registration. Limited Registration means that the dog is registered but no litters produced by that dog are eligible for registration. A dog registered with an AKC Limited Registration shall be ineligible to be entered in a licensed or member dog show. It is eligible, however to be entered in any other licensed AKC event such as obedience, tracking, field trials, hunting test, herding, lure coursing, agility and earth dog events.
A potential Echoing Pines puppy buyer is screened with great care. We thoroughly review each and every questionnaire we receive.
After speaking with us, if you are approved, you will be added to our waiting list so you can be among the first to hear about our upcoming breedings.
If you are placed on a waitlist, we can assure you that an Echoing Pines puppy is worth the wait.
When an announced breeding interests you, we will request a deposit and add you to the specific litter list. You will also be invited to join a private Litter Group on Facebook, where you and the other approved families can follow along with the puppies’ growth and personalities. We believe this process gives each future forever family the chance to bond with their puppy before bringing them home.
We post frequent pictures and videos to keep everyone involved in the puppies’ journey, including updates on milestones and weekly individual features of each pup.
Our newborn puppies are weighed daily for the first two weeks, and from weeks three to eight, we weigh them two to three times per week. This careful monitoring ensures each puppy is developing at a healthy, consistent rate. Puppies are wormed at 2, 3, 4, and 6 weeks of age. They receive their first Neopar vaccine at 5 weeks and their 7-week vaccination before going home.
Placing Our Puppies
We place them in order of inquiry and deposit received, (1st deposit 1st pick, 2nd deposit 2nd pick etc.) Our deposits are non-refundable as it is your commitment and certainty that you will be providing a forever home for the Echoing Pines puppy you are putting a deposit on. Refunds may be given if the chosen puppy develops an issue that prohibits placement only. Please contact us for more information regarding this.
At 4 weeks of age the puppies begin developing their personalities.
When our puppies are around 6-7 weeks of age we begin the process of matching the puppies with their new families. At that time we also start assessing the puppies that we potentially plan to keep in our program.
Please be understanding this can take time.
At Echoing Pines we spend an endless amount of time with our puppies and no one knows them better than us. We spend a lot of time getting to know our families too. Over the next several weeks, through conversations with each client and our observation of each puppy we will work together to ensure your puppy is the perfect fit for your lifestyle.
Echoing Pines Labradors unless otherwise noted, reserve the right to at least the first 2 picks from each litter. We reserve the right to make a decision not to sell to any person/family at any time for any reason.
Puppies must be picked up at the decided date at 8 weeks.
If a situation arises and prior arrangements have not been discussed the additional daily cost for the puppy staying in our care will be $15 per day.
