Welcome
to Barefoot Labradors of Killingworth
Barefoot Labradors specializes in AKC black, yellow and chocolate Labrador Retriever puppies for the family.
Located in Killingworth, Connecticut, we have been providing exceptional puppies to families in the Northeast since 1995.
Our English style labs are
AKC,
OFA,
OFEL,
CERF registered. They enjoy 12
wooded acres surrounded by Connecticut State Park and Killingworth Land Trust, and swim
in lab-friendly Pond Meadow Brook.
We breed for sound health and good temperament. We raise our puppies in a home environment and socialize them through frequent handling and play.
From their third to 16th day, we give them a series of gentle neurological stimulation
(The Bio Sensor Program) to improve cardio vascular performance, tolerance to stress and
resistance to disease. Also, during the 8-weeks they are with us, they listen to National Public Radio (NPR).
All of our pups have Dew Claws removed. They are examined by a Vet at 2-4 days and again at 6-weeks (1st immunization).
Our puppies go to their new families with immunization records, AKC Litter Pedigree Certificate, copies of their parents' OFA & CERF certificates, and general information about care and training.
They are sold with a limited AKC registration to help protect the breed from genetic faults. They come with a 30-month Heath Guarantee for hip and elbow dysplasia,
and heriditary defects of the eyes.
Pups from our litters have become service dogs for the deaf and physically disabled through the National Education of Assistance Dog Services (NEADS)
West Boylston, MA. "Able" as a pup. "Able" in training as a service dog. Luna and her pups
Our litters are planned well in advance and sold by reservation to approved families. Occasionally, we have older labs to place to suitable homes. Notice of
their availability is always posted on our web site.
We are planning litters of yellow, black and chocolate pups that will go home during September through December.
