Breed: Working-line Labrador Retriever
Expected colours: dark yellow / fox red
Parents: health-tested working-line Labradors
Expected suitability: active homes, sport homes and selected working homes

This planned litter is intended for owners looking for a working-line Labrador with trainability, confidence, enthusiasm and the ability to settle as part of family life.

We carefully match puppies to homes based on temperament, drive, sensitivity and lifestyle suitability.

How our puppy reservations work

We accept serious enquiries from suitable homes before puppies are born. A place on the interest list does not automatically guarantee a puppy. Puppy placement is based on suitability, temperament and the needs of each puppy.

Deposits are accepted only when we are confident that the home is suitable and that a puppy from the litter is likely to be the right match.

What we look for in puppy homes

Our working-line Labradors are best suited to people who enjoy an active life with their dog.

Suitable homes may include:

• Active family homes
• Gundog training or hunting homes
• Sport homes
• Tracking, obedience or other training-focused homes
• Owners who enjoy outdoor life and structured training

They are usually not the best choice for people looking for a very quiet, low-energy pet with minimal training needs.

What is included with our puppies

Each puppy is raised with attention to early development, confidence and socialisation.

Depending on the litter and age, puppies may be exposed to normal household life, people, other dogs, different surfaces, outdoor experiences and age-appropriate confidence-building.

Puppies leave with appropriate documentation, veterinary care, microchip/registration details where applicable, feeding guidance,  breeder support and puppy pack.

Frequently asked questions

When can I reserve a puppy?

You can send an enquiry before puppies are born. Reservations and deposits are discussed once suitability has been considered and the litter is confirmed.

Can I choose by colour?

Colour preferences can be discussed, but puppy matching is not based only on colour. Temperament and suitability are more important.

Do you sell puppies outside Finland?

Yes, suitable international enquiries are welcome. Export depends on the destination country’s rules, the puppy’s age and travel arrangements.

Are the parents health tested?

Yes. Our breeding dogs are health tested before being used in our breeding programme. This may include hips, elbows, eyes and DNA testing for relevant inherited conditions.

Are working-line Labradors suitable for family homes?

Yes, for the right active homes. Working-line Labradors need training, activity, structure and mental stimulation.
