Pricing
Pricing varies from litter to litter. Every puppy born to Dances With Dogs Retrievers, from the raising of the parents, to the breeding and whelping process, to the socialization, and finally the puppy going to start a new life with their new families is handled with calculated care and unconditional love by our family.
When Pricing Is Determined
Pricing for a litter is determined after 45 days of pregnancy has been achieved and pregnancy has been confirmed for a second time
Deposits
Deposits can be made any time after pregnancy is confirmed to secure a place in the picking order for any litter. We cannot make any guarantees of color, or sex until after the puppies reach 5 to 6 weeks of age. Most of our litters either sell out before this time, sometimes even before birth, through deposits. We highly recommend placing a deposit on a litter if you are interested in obtaining a puppy for a specific Sire or Dam. We are always available through email for any questions throughout pregnancy, whelping, and the maturing of the newborns to the exciting day of meeting the new family member. For anyone picking a puppy long distance, we spend many hours and days with each puppy in every litter so we know each personality, we are more than happy to help make selections over the phone to insure that the best fit is made between puppy and their humans.
Our Lines
In our desire to continue to produce the healthiest, well-balanced puppies we can, we continue to work to better our lines by breeding only dogs that display great temperament and disposition, that are healthy and as close to confirmation perfect as possible. We choose only adult dogs that are either OFA Excellent or Good and have the appropriate clearances. All the puppies we raise, that will remain in our program,
Our Labradors are EIC tested and cleared (Exercise induced collapse (EIC) is a common cause of episodic exercise intolerance and collapse in otherwise healthy, adult, Labrador Retrievers).
Shipping

Puppies can be shipped to most major airports in the nation. Pricing varries based upon airline rates. International shipping is available.
