Our Process
From first hello to homecoming day — here’s how a Kindred Pup finds you.
If you’re here, you’re probably somewhere between “we’re just looking”
and “we’re completely ready for this.” Either one is a wonderful place to start.
We love helping families find the right puppy.
We love helping them feel ready for one even more.
How a Kindred Pup Comes Home
Inquire
Send a note, call, or text. Tell us about your home, your people, and the Lab you’re picturing. There’s no message too short and no question too small.
The Conversation
You’ll hear back from us personally within 24 hours. And if it’s ever quiet longer than that, please send a text — email fails more often than anyone likes, and we’d hate for a lost message to be the reason we never met.
From there we’ll talk through timing, temperament, coat color, and what daily life looks like at your house, because the right match depends on all of it.
Alongside our reply we’ll send the Kindred Pup Guide, which gathers the practical details — pricing, timing, transport, what comes home with your puppy — in one place, so our conversation can be about you.
Your Reservation
A deposit reserves your place for an upcoming litter — $250 for a litter not yet born, $500 once the puppies have arrived. Places are held in the order deposits arrive, and you’re always free to pass. If a litter’s timing or coloring isn’t quite right, you simply wait for the one that is.
When you’re ready, we’ll send over a deposit agreement.
Meeting Your Puppy
Around six weeks, once personalities have settled, we complete temperament assessments and introduce you to the litter — photographs, video, and our honest read on every pup.
Families then choose in list order. We’ll tell you which puppies we think are pulling toward you, and why. Knowing these dogs individually from the day they’re born is the whole point of raising them the way we do.
Homecoming Day
At eight weeks your puppy goes home vet-checked, current on vaccinations, and already at ease with the rhythms of family life.
Whether you’re driving to Tennessee or meeting us at your airport, we’ll be alongside you until the moment they’re in your arms — and after.

Wherever Home Is, We’ll Get Them There
- Pickup with us — we’re happy to meet anywhere within an hour or two of Crossville, Tennessee.
- Hand delivery by car — we’ll arrange a meeting point and a fee that works for both of us.
- Nationwide flight nanny — your puppy travels in-cabin, held the entire way. They enjoy the fame.
We’re also back in Colorado regularly, so delivery there usually comes at a reduced fee.
Tell Us About Your Family
Other pets? Children at home? Have you loved a Lab before? How did you find us?
There are no wrong answers — we just like knowing who we’re talking with. The more we understand about your household, the better we can point you toward the puppy who actually fits it.
About Kindred Pup
Kindred Pup began with a simple conviction: breed Labradors the way they deserve to be bred — temperament and health first, with beauty following naturally from doing those things well.
Our dams and sires come from carefully chosen pedigrees around the world, selected for low inbreeding coefficients and proven health. Our puppies are raised underfoot, in the middle of family life, known individually from the day they are born.
And our families stay. Many are now on their second and third Kindred Pup. That’s the part we’re proudest of.
