"In doing research since the pups have been born, we've learned that labs are the #1 bred (both ethically and unethically) dog in Utah, which means that they are also the #1 breed euthanized."
Because of this, i hope maybe you reconsider breeding your dogs any more, and consider spaying/neutering instead. Having puppies in your home is a wonderful experience, but for every dog someone buys from a breeder, is one in a shelter that gets killed.
The cost of the dogs that their new owners pay does include spaying/neutering the dog when they are old enough to have it done. We are planning to spay Tess as soon as the puppies are in new homes and her "stress level" is down a bit.
We also have "contracts" with anyone who takes one of our puppies that states that we have the first right to the dog should they decide that having a puppy/dog is not a good fit for them. :) They can simply bring it back to us rather than giving it to anyone else or taking it to any kind of shelter.
The puppies are getting so big, and are so adorable! I think that is so great that you guys are going to donate the rest of the money after covering cost, to a shelter! I hope that you find the last 3 good homes! If I know of anyone who is looking for a puppy, and would make a great pet parent I will send them your way! I am glad you get to keep little Ella, Yay! Ok, enough rambling..
