I cannot believe we are only (roughly) one week out from Belle’s litter! Just one more! We couldn’t be more excited. She’s getting lots of extra love and she’s starting to root around in her whelping box where she’s been sleeping. Remember, genetic possibilities include the all 3(4) colors from this litter! The Polar White…
Let me tell you, as the owner of more than a couple of dogs, that a well-trained dog is a joy unrivaled. Labradors are large and strong. Their famous and endearing “otter tails” can clean off a table top quicker than your hands can! Usually, the clanging, crashing, spilling sounds that accompany this “clearing” startle…
We get asked constantly: what makes a Kindred Pup puppy worth the wait? For us, it starts long before any puppies arrive – months of research into pedigrees and genetics, health testing, and watching temperament and “mama readiness” in every dog we consider breeding. By the time a litter is born, we’ve usually been planning…
Have you ever looked up what proper Labrador conformation is? It is a fascinating list of requirements. The Labrador retriever Club is pretty serious about our breed – and the requirements are stringent. (Does your labrador pass the test?) While there are numerous requirements and a list of traits to analyze for a dog, here…
It just doesn’t get any better than that A healthy, beautiful lab puppy is not just a pet, it can be your best friend. Occasionally I hear back from our Kindred Pup families who update me on how their pups are doing and they send me pictures. They aren’t all still in Colorado, and a…
I have been having a hard time describing to you just how beautiful Belle’s coloring is. It is dark, but rich, not ashy, and almost has a slight redness to it. It is truly the most beautiful coat I’ve seen from any chocolate labrador, anywhere. I think the Colorado labrador population is about to get…
The life of a new puppy brings a new experience to them on a weekly basis. New sounds, new smells, new textures, new desires for play, pain, hunger, anxiety… all of these things need to be handled by a knowledgeable breeder who will take the time to get to know each pup and spend the…
Sorry it has been so long! As you can tell from our recent website update and social media posts, there has been a LOT going on here at Kindred Pup. We are thrilled that our Belle and stud Manny have had a successful mating! Assuming all goes well, that means puppies will arrive end of…
This litter has been such a breeze, you guys. I just can’t believe how wonderful they’ve been – easy, relatively quiet, playful but not aggressive. If I had the room I may just have kept all of these pups! I have to tell you that we all shed a few tears when puppies head home….
Hello everyone! Long-time-no-write! Sorry about my silence here. Truth is, COVID and quarantine and people being home bound have sent puppy inquiries through the roof and between answering what inquiries I can, caring for Molly and loving up the pups, I just have not had the time! I am thankful to say that all the…
