policies and pricing

It takes effort, care, and investment to produce puppies of the good health, quality, and temperament that we have here at High Desert Labradors. We put time and attention into careful selection of breeding stock. ​
  • We ensure each Dam and Sire have important health screenings to give your puppy a genetic advantage. Hips & Elbows are certified through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals and genetic screenings are also conducted for Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) and Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC).  
  • We love, care for, and play with each and every puppy in the comfort of our family home; never in outdoor concrete kennels.  It is our hope that you will find your High Desert Labrador well worth the price!
The price of a High Desert Labrador puppy is $2,750 and includes:
  • 100% Health Guarantee for Hip Dysplasia (see purchase contract for complete details).
  • Current Vaccinations and Deworming.
  • Microchip
  • Paperwork for Limited AKC Registration (puppy is sold with spay/neuter agreement and may not be used for breeding).
  • Puppy Collar & Leash. 
  • All Medical Records.
  • A deposit of $250 will reserve your puppy.  Deposits are refundable only if we cannot provide you with a puppy of your requested gender within one year of contract signing.
  • Puppy "picks" will be offered once the pups are 6-7 weeks of age, with picks granted in the order deposits were received. 
  • Puppies are available to go home in their 8th week, after they are fully weaned, eating dry kibble, and have received their first vaccinations.
  • Your remaining balance of $2,500 is not due until your puppy goes home.
  • We do NOT ship via air cargo since the safety and well-being of our pups is of utmost concern.  We welcome out of state buyers to pick up their puppies and fly home with them in a soft-sided carry-on pet carrier.  Please contact us for further details.
If your family is not currently in a position to purchase a puppy: our Guardian Family Program may be of interest to you. The program offers an attractive option for receiving a top quality breeding puppy at no cost by agreeing to certain conditions.

"Our puppy Otis is an absolute joy! He's by far the best purchase I've made in a long time, lol. He is so smart, sometimes too smart for his own good. Amanda absolutely loves him. Hope all is well with you and your family. If and when we decide to purchase another lab, it will definitely be from you guys." --Ron, (Owner of "Otis"), Ojo Caliente, New Mexico
