Puppy Reservations

Adding your name to our puppy wait list is free! We do need to gather some information and start the conversation to make sure we can provide what you are looking for and that a Misty Maple Labrador puppy is the right fit for you.

Make sure to include the following in your email:

• Your name, best phone number and location.
•  Tell us a little about yourself, why you are looking for a Lab and if you have owned a Lab before.  This helps us to help you.  
• Timing preferences/ restrictions (ie: looking to bring home a puppy as soon as possible or further out?)
• Male/ Female preference, if any
• Color preference, if any
• Dam preference (Maple or Lily)

Understand that the more preferences that you have, the longer it may take to provide the perfect puppy. Since we are a small breeding program if your preference is female, does the color really matters? If your preference is color does the gender really matter? We can not predict the litter size, gender or how many of each color will be born. The best advice is to get on our wait list, with and then move forward to the top of the list. Once we confirm pregnancy for either dog, we will reach out to you and let you know. 

Once we receive your reservation request email, expect a response within 24 hours. If you haven't heard back within 48 hours, then send a second email. I try to be on top of communication but life can sneak up on us all!

1. I will respond with any clarifying questions and then verify your spot on the wait list. 
2. Once the dogs have started their season and bred successfully, we will have a clear idea of when the puppies will be born and when they will be eight weeks old and ready for pick up. I will then reach out to all those on the waitlist and verify that adding a puppy to their lives is still the perfect plan. 
3. Once the puppies are born we will know for certain how many puppies get matched with families. If you do not get a puppy then your name will move up on the wait list to the next expected litter.
4. For those families that are matched with puppies, then a holding deposit of $200 will be due within one week. Venmo is preferred for deposits if you have it.
5. At week 5, you will be able to come and pick out your puppy based on your wait list spot. If you are not local, then I can send you photos and videos of the available puppies when it is your turn to pick. I will send out an email beforehand with instructions.

Misty Maple Labradors reserves the right of refusal if at any point we feel uncomfortable about a potential buyer or feel that the puppy will be going to an unsuitable environment that is not a good fit. In this situation, the deposit will be refunded. We are anticipating many life long joyful interactions with our new puppy owners.

At week 8, once the puppies have had their vet visit, health exam and first round of shots I will schedule your puppy pick up day. This is usually on the closest Saturday to eight weeks. I will send out an email beforehand with helpful information so that you arrive prepared. 

All of our puppies come with pet/limited AKC registration, puppy contract & health guarantee, dewormed 4 times, first set of 8 week vaccinations, health examination by licensed veterinarian and health records, a blanket that smells like mama, a gallon bag of puppy food to make their transition to home easy, a tote filled with starter toys and chews, a folder of helpful information and a life time of breeder support. 

Not Long! We have two planned litters in the next 6 months with space available.

• The reservation list for the Lily + Journey litter is OPEN opened. All black puppies are expected spring of 2025.
• The reservation list for Maple + Journey is currently FULL. Yellow and black puppies expected November 2024.

Our puppy pricing for 2024 is $1500.00 - $1700.00 depending on the litter.

Veteran and First Responder discount considered

That's a loaded question.

A normal litter for a Labrador Retriever is between 5-10 with an average of 7-8.

First litters can often be small. Maple only had 2 puppies for her first litter. It was a perfect size for our first litter, and those puppies were so well fed and cared for!

For Maple's next litter I am anticipating 5 - 8 puppies.

For Lily, this will be her first litter and we will just have to see but I am anticipating at least 4 - 6 puppies.
