Our puppies are not just cute puppies, they are backed up with excellent temperaments, pedigrees, health clearances through OFA, CERF, and DNA. We temperament evaluate our puppies to make the best match possible with the new families. Usually, all the puppies are sold by the time they are 8 weeks old, so we encourage interested people to contact us ahead of time and get on the waiting list. All pet puppies are sold with limited registration. No exceptions! Our pet puppies are usually $3,000.00 - $3,500.00 depending on the breeding and training. Reservations: Puppies can be reserved before they are born with a 1st refundable deposit of $300.00. 2nd Deposit is $700.00 once the puppies are born. To place this deposit, you have to wait until I have a puppy for you. Once confirmed, your whole deposit of $1000.00 becomes non-refundable. Final payment is due the day you take your puppy home. Being in our waiting list will not warrant a puppy. We are in God's hands, and we may not get enough puppies to fulfill all our inquiries and reservations. I do not sell to non-reputable breeders, pet shops, dealers, or brokers. I do not ship puppies. If you insist on one of our babies, you'll have to come to pick it up. No exceptions! We reserve the right to keep as many puppies as we feel will perpetuate and benefit our breeding program. We usually keep 1-2 puppies from each litter. You can place your deposit through: 1.- Cash. 2.- Check. 3.- Pay Pal or venmo. 4.- Zelle. I do not take credit cards. Please do not place a deposit before you have been approved. Visits Visits are welcome by appointment only. Please, do not come the same day you have visited other kennels, pet stores, vet clinics, or shelters; or with the same shoes that you used in a dog place in the last month. Young puppies are very susceptible to diseases and visitors are usually the way virus and bacteria find their way to them. If you forget and you are on your way, I can always give you booties, just let me know! Puppy Package AKC limited registration. Parent's Hips, Elbows, and Eyes clearances.

Unexpected events happen in life. If you can't keep your puppy for whatever reason in the future, he or she will always have a home at van Dalen. It has always been my personal commitment that none of the puppies that I bring to this world would ever end up abandoned or in a shelter. If you can't keep it and you do not have a close family member or friend to adopt it from you, I want it back. We love our puppies a great deal. We welcome pictures and updates and encourage new owners to do so.
Beware of breeders that sell champagne, silver, or charcoal Labradors. These colors are the dilute version of the only 3 AKC accepted colors: black, yellow, and Chocolate. The heavy inbreeding that is done by these breeders commonly produces genetically weak Labrador prone to skin disorders, common infections, and undesirable temperaments. Most of these puppies are destined for a painful, sad, and short life. Veterinarian bills of thousands of dollars are not enough to undo what the greed and lack of knowledge have produced. Shame on breeders that destroy this beautiful breed for the love of money.
