2008 Breedings/Litters
BritishLabradors.com is pleased to announce the following breedings we believe will produce outstanding British-bred Labradors in the year 2008. Go to the Sires or Dams Photos and Pedigrees pages to view pictures and pedigrees. Go to Photo Album for photos of recent litters taken at 5 weeks of age. This is a tentative and incomplete breeding list. More breedings may be added throughout the year as we purchase and import stock. Some breeding combinations of sires and dams may change given the outcome of yellows and blacks from the early litters. We may also move breedings around to avoid producing too many litters at once. Since females can come into heat +/- a full month from their expected heat cycle all the estimated whelping dates listed could be as much as +/- a month. When a female actually comes into heat, then we update the breeding list to reflect the actual expected whelping date.
Puppy Availability: Please call us for availability. We have fulfilled most of our 2008 black male and yellow male reservations and thus anticipate having black males and yellow males available in the remaining 2008 litters. Our 2009 litter reservations are filling quickly. Many factors determine how long the wait for a pup may be including 1) some people who are ahead of you on a list might pass on some litters, moving your name up. 2) many names are duplicated on multiple lists for first, second, third and forth choices of sex and color. Their names are removed from all of the lists when they receive a puppy. 3) people reserve their puppies for the following year(s). 4) people postpone puppy deliveries for a variety of reasons, most often personal, such as waiting for an older dog to die, summer vacations, vacation schedule, family moves or house-building projects that are behind schedule. 5) we have found in the past that litters born between November and March, during the winter, are usually placed with folks further down in the reservation lists as a result of the folks at the top of the lists deciding to wait for a puppy until spring or summer and, 6) we will be importing at least two or more new breeding females during this year. Hope this dispels the thought that you'll have to wait forever for a puppy. Your deposit is refundable under all conditions and we are happy to return your deposit if we cannot produce a puppy in a timeframe suitable to you.

For females not bred yet, “Estimated Whelp Date” indicates an estimated date that the female will whelp her puppies based on the approximate date we expect her to come into heat. Please keep in mind that females do not always cycle on a regular basis. These anticipated dates are hopeful estimates. For females that have been bred, “Expected Whelp Date” is based on the typical gestation of 58 days from her first day bred. Average gestation is 58-63 days so the date may vary by 5 or more days. Pregnancies are confirmed around 35 days of gestation.
TBD means a sire is To Be Determined. We will decide whom to mate the bitch to giving consideration to the following:
1. available BritishLabradors.com sires, which we are continually importing new stock.
2. previous matings who have proven to be excellent combinations in their offspring.
3. DNA testing for identity of genetic recessive carriers of abnormalities such as Labrador Myopath, general Progressive Retinal Atrophy. And Narcolepsy.
4. outcome for temperament, physical conformation, intelligence, instinctual hunting ability.
Please note: All of our puppies are sold AKC Limited Registration only. The dog is registered with the American Kennel Club with the restriction that you cannot register that dog's offspring with the AKC. This means you cannot breed your dog. We do this to protect our British bloodlines and our breeding business. Also it discourages the indiscriminate backyard breeder.
