Can you believe Aspen’s pups are already 2 weeks old?! They are stunning examples of English Labrador Puppies and we are SO excited to introduce you to her Gorgeous babes. Here, for a Saturday swoon, are Aspen’s boys: Mr Orange You can see the blockiness of all these pups’ heads here – wide, large faces, sort snouts, and intense eyes. We are so impressed by these pups already! Mr Green You can see with all these puppies how blocky their heads are already! Mr Blue Check back tomorrow for Aspen’s Beautiful Girls! (That post is LIVE now! Click here!) Interested in one of our English Labrador Puppies? I believe we…

I’m SURE you all saw my post yesterday, right?! About Adrian’s Perfect Labrador Puppies, the Girls? Well, here are even MORE perfect Labrador Puppies – the Boys. All of our pups have been spoken for and are heading home to great families beginning next week. We expect to have yellow/cream colored pups being born over the summer, heading home September October, so if you’re interested email me at: info@kindredpup.com Mr Gray/Silver Light Green Mr Light Blue/Teal We call this guy our Bear Cub. He’s so compact and so stalky that he truly looks like a little brown bear walking around! He tumbles when he runs too fast, like all puppies…

I cannot believe that Adrian’s Perfect Labrador Puppies are already 7.5 weeks old! We are gearing up to head home next week, and we enjoy the last week SO much. Watching them run around, tumbling and turning… watching them play outside, becoming more independent… watching them LOVE the water. It’s just so fun. Adrian is such a sweetheart that we were especially interested to see how her pups would turn out. This post I’ll be sharing updated pictures of Adrian’s Girls, and they are perfect little puppies. Miss Orange Miss Purple Miss Red Miss Yellow Miss Pink I’ll send the boys out tonight or tomorrow. Until then…

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then a video is worth 1,000,000 right? We put together this very hobbyist-level video of this past week to try to show you what our outdoor time consists of with our puppies. We really believe that on top of excellent genetic lines, the care and attention we give to our puppies is the Kindred Pup Difference. English Labrador retrievers are beautiful and wonderful pets, and we are so thankful to do what we do and to have learned what we’ve learned. You’ve heard me talk about the importance of confidence in a pup for their future life; well, here is a lot of…

Summer is upon us and what better gift than a puppy? It looks like we will have black and chocolate, male and females available – cute puppies are just an email away! These sweet pups’ “go home” date is July 13th. They will be limited registration with the AKC and have a one year genetic health guarantee, as well. While I know puppies can be a lot of work, they are also the best Best Friend. Not exactly sure what you would do with a new puppy right now? I give LOTS and lots of info with our pups to help make your transition as easy as can be. Here’s…

As promised, here are Adrian’s boys… beautiful, strong, blocky and still cuddly as can be. Just the way we like our labradors. We grabbed some photos of pups after their romp in the water today and some are still a bit wet, as you can see. They say Labradors love water – boy that’s true of these little ones! Gray Light Green Dark Blue Light Blue Aren’t they cute?! Did you get a chance to see their sisters? You can check them out here.

THE GIRLS We are always so grateful to do what we do – and Adrian’s black and chocolate labradors make us even more thankful for it. They are adorable in every way! Their personalities are just starting to show, but we see the buds of patterns and habits and it will be so fun to watch them come out of their shells. In the world of puppy raising, there are weeks that require more effort, clean up, training, time spent etc. and those weeks don’t allow as much time for pictures and blogging. I’m sorry I’m just now formally introducing you to Adrian’s litter, but I think it’s worth the…

This sweet girl, Layla, is one of Piper’s puppies and she has been staying with us this past week while her family is out of town, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Seeing as we usually send our pups home at 8 weeks old, a 9 week old Labrador is something we rarely see. And it is sweet as pie. Since we have her here, we’ve been spending some time practicing recall and she’s learning her name already! She is eager to please, happy to run and romp and happy to nap on your lap. In other words, a perfect puppy. It’s also SO fun to watch their instincts come…

What do the final days with a litter of Labrador puppies look like?! There are LOTS of puppy cuddles, and lots of puppy teaching sessions – from being up off the ground on a garden wall or being on an ottoman; loud noises; alone time; substitution training (focusing on chewing); crate time etc. Manding is the process of teaching a puppy to wait for you by sitting (as opposed to jumping) quietly (as opposed to barking/whining). You reward this behavior by offering praise or a treat (Labrador retrievers are highly food motivated, so small treats work fabulously for this) and you reinforce this behavior by ignoring them entirely until they…

As promised, here are some photos of our sweet Girls. I am so thrilled to have met all our Kindred Pup families over the past weeks and I’m happy to say I think we’ve found some wonderful people. Thank you all, again, for trusting us with your pups! Here’s some yummy photos of your beautiful girls! Miss Orange Miss Orange was not so sure about her height challenges. She took to it very cautiously and you could see the victory all over her face when she finally shut down her worry about it. This litter has the most gorgeous shade of chocolate in their coats! Way to go, Miss Orange!…
