2007 Breedings/Litters
BritishLabradors.com is pleased to announce the following breedings we believe will produce outstanding British-bred Labradors in the year 2007. 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.
If you're wondering why you have to wait for a BritishLabradors.com puppy while our competitors have puppies on the ground, sometimes 12+ weeks of age, available, just ask someone from among our database of over 1350 satisfied customers why BritishLabradors.com produces the best British Labradors in the business. References from your city or state available upon request.
Availability: Reserve your puppy now! Our spring 2008 reservation lists are filling quickly. Although we have long reservation lists, it's possible you may not have to wait for several reasons: 1) people reserve their puppies for the following year(s), 2) 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) some people who are ahead of you on a list might pass on some litters, moving your name up, 4) litters whelped early in the year, e.g. January thru March, typically are placed with names further down the reservation list. 5) 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. Your deposit is refundable and we are always happy to return your deposit if we cannot produce a puppy in a timeframe suitable to you.

longer any pups. Our apologies to those on our reservation list who were waiting for
a puppy from this litter. We will be breeding her back in her March heat cycle.

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.
