breeding program and strict veterinary protocols.

What to consider when buying a Labrador retriever?
The first step is to decide where you are going to buy it;
it must be a place with a certain prestige, where they have worked with
seriousness and care with this breed of dogs.
It must be accredited by the AWBI (Animal Welfare Board of
India) and ensure that it is registered and certified by a reputable and
trustworthy KCI (Canal Club of India).
When buying a Labrador puppy, make sure it is between 6 and
10 weeks old. It is forbidden to sell puppies younger than this to protect the
welfare of the dogs.
The dog's education begins with the mother, not with the
trainer and not at home, just like his immune system that needs mother's milk.
If he has not spent that necessary time with his mother, there will be problems
that will be more serious when they grow up.
Also, to have good puppies we must have good parents, so the
health of the puppies and parents is also fundamental. Make sure your Labrador's parents are free of problems such as hip,
shoulder or elbow dysplasia, and vision problems.
When choosing your Labrador, make sure it is balanced, that
it is not too bossy or too docile because it can grow up being shy in excess
and at the slightest provocation defend itself by biting or barking a lot.
Also, take into account the time you have available, as these
dogs need education and socialization from puppyhood to develop a balanced
personality, the space for their
upbringing, and the aforementioned factors such as living and maintenance
costs. If you can cope with this responsibility then you are ready to get a
Labrador puppy.
Now you have all the information you need to buy your Labrador.
Having a Labrador is to have a great dog in the family,
educated, balanced and affectionate, but it entails an economic responsibility,
it occupies space in our home and this must be adequate for it.
It involves costs that cannot be avoided and are sometimes
unexpected.
If you have the space, the time and the possibility to
assume the cost, as well as all the love in the world, to enjoy playing,
training and socializing your puppy, I encourage you to look for the ideal
Labrador for you.
