Purchase Instructions: After deciding which gender and color you desire, call us to verify availability.
Puppies are weaned and ready to go at 49 days old (if shipping is necessary, 8 weeks). If you decide to pick up your puppy or have him/her
delivered, we can usually do this by 49 days old.
There is a lot of discussion and some "experts" advise bringing your puppy home at 7 weeks. This is a generalization for all puppies and not
necessarily pertinent to Labrador Retrievers. It all depends on how the litter is managed from birth until the puppy is placed in a home. The main
concern seems to be nurturing and socialization. At the Desert Wind we handle the puppies from birth so we are actively involved in their nurturing
and socialization from the very beginning. This allows us to observe their interaction and sometimes intervene to assist the weaker pups with
getting the proper nutrition and personalized attention.
All our puppies come with a Health Record showing their first shots and parasite treatment. All puppies come with full AKC or CKC registration
and a 1 year Written Guarantee against genetic defects (eye and hip).

Placing Puppy on Reserve: This is your commitment to buy ... the initial payment to RESERVE a puppy is $250 - call us. The RESERVE
Deposit is Transferable (to a different litter) but NON REFUNDABLE. When the litter is born we will send you a Birth Announcement with pictures.
After the Reserve Deposit is made you will then receive a confirmation of your request and we will call to verify it with you.
When the puppy reaches 5 weeks old we will send you an invoice via email for you to complete the purchase. Your final payment must be made
before the puppy reaches 7 weeks or you lose your rights to the puppy and forfeit your Reserve Payment.
If for any reason you are unable to take immediate possession of your puppy, there is a $15 a day Boarding Fee to cover the food and continued
care needed.
In the case of a Reserved Puppy, it starts the day after final payment is made (7 weeks) and continues up to the actual day of delivery or pickup.
Boarding Fees are processed weekly on Friday. For complete details view the Boarding Contract here.

your new puppy!
And do not be concerned - your puppy will spend the majority of his/her trip fast asleep! And no, we do not sedate puppies before travel - it is
dangerous and completely unnecessary!
