Inquiries
Please fill out this form, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.  The easiest way would
be to right click and copy the questions, and then paste it into an email.  Thanks,
Mudd Hollow Labs

1.Do you own or rent your home?
2. If you rent, do you have land lord permission?  Please include contact information.
3.Do you have a fenced yard or some other containment system?
4.  Have you ever had a lab before?
5.  If so, when?
6.  Do you have a preference for sex/color?
7.  If so, what is it and are you willing to take a puppy which is not quite exactly what you want?
8.  Are you aware that lab puppies are high energy dogs which need lots of exercise?
9.  Do you plan to crate train?
10.  Do you have children?
11.  Are you willing to sign a contract that states that if you need to place the puppy at any time, it must come back to Mudd Hollow Labs first?  This does not mean that if you have a possible home available, it can not be presented to me as an option for placement.  It does mean that if you must place, the placement is at the descrection of Mudd Hollow Labs.  No Mudd Hollow puppy may ever be placed in a shelter situation.
12.  Do you plan to ship your puppy, or would you prefer to pick up your puppy?  In some cases, I am willing to meet half way.
13.  Mudd Hollow requires that puppies not be allowed to jump up or down from high places such as a bed to promote joint health.  Puppies need to be self regulated for exercise.  This means that the puppy can not be a jogging partner and be forced to exercise until its growth plates close.  The puppy may not live its life with constant concrete or similar substance footing.  The puppy may not be overweight, and we will help you take the best care of your puppy.  All of these situations are high stress to the puppies growing joints and without following these conditions, the warrantee will be void. 
14.  Are you willing to take the puppy to puppy classes?  Puppy classes give the opportunity for proper emotional growth, as well as basic obedience skills.  This will make the puppy's ability to interact with outside dogs and stimuli less stressful, and therefore overall a better dog.  There are alternatives to this when classes are not available, and can be discussed.
15.  How many hours a day do you work?
16.  Who will let the puppy out when you are gone?  Puppies can not be crated more than 4 hours without needing to be let out to relieve themselves.
17.  How many hours a week will your puppy be crated overall?
18.  Do you have a vet?
19.  Have you ever placed a dog, and if so what was the situation around that event?


It is not our intention to be meddlesome or overly involved in our puppies new homes.  We are willing to be as much, or as little help as is desired.  We ask these questions to help screen owners, not just so that we can be confident that they will be a good homes, but also to match puppy personalities to lifestyles.  Ultimately, you will choose your own puppy from our litters.  However, more information is only beneficial for both parties.  If you have an active lifestyle, a shy, quiet puppy is not for you.  If you live a quiet life, then my most boisterous puppy would not be for you either. 
Thanks for considering a Mudd Hollow Puppy.
