what price shold i be paYING FOR CHOC LAB PUPPY GIRL. ALL PAPERS ARE AVAILABLE AND RELEVANT TESTS COMPLETED. IS £500 THE RATE

Hi Cally, :-)

The colour has nothing to do with the price in labradors, the quality and the breeding is really the important factor.  £500 is probably the going rate for a fairly well bred dog. Make sure parents are hip scored, eye tested some elbow test also.

As an additional piece of advice I personally would go to a breed club member especially with the numbers registered in the Uk of Labradors and Chocs are unfortunately are the ones who are sometimes bred for the wrong reasons. Colour being a priority instead of quality and type. I always say ask yourself or the breeder why the litter was bred.

Good luck.

I thought you already had one? You were asking about how much excercise a puppy needed and when to increase it?

Cally, in some of you posts you say you have 2 Labs and in some you say you have 3. Now I'm a little confused here, it looks like you got a pup around mid April, but maybe I'm wrong and you were 'getting' a pup. I am assuming the latter is the right one, and you are just looking to confirm pricing etc.  I do hope this is the case, and that you are not in the process of adding another pup!!!

£500 for a Lab puppy, regardless of colour, with KC papers etc. is about right.

I think she is in the planning of the 3rd and asking pre puppy questions by the looks of the old posts. Only one post mentions the having actual 2 dogs. The questions all seem to be directed towards plans for a new puppy. :-) Hope so to our she will have her hands full.
