Purchasing a Natural Bond Puppy

Natural Bond places all pet on Non-Breeding Contracts. There is no exception to this, if the dog is bred, the offspring will not be recognized or able to be registered with the CKC or AKC, UKC. Planned or accidental breeding could result in the repossession of the dog, at the discretion of Natural Bond and will require the purchaser to pay the full breeding fee price, which is different from pet puppy prices.

Natural Bond will in our best judgement evaluate puppies's personality by observing him or her during their development. We always attempt to match the puppy to the buyer to produce the successful outcome for both the puppy and family. The order in which you will be allowed to choose your puppy is determined by the order in which your name appears on our waiting list, however we hold the right to decide if that puppy will be suitable and to ensure that the best potential assistance or working dogs are placed accordingly.

Our puppies are in demand so if you are looking on impulse the likelihood is that you will not have an immediate choice. Often a waiting list may be already on any given litter. We only breed in a limited, cautious basis with the emphasis on quality, health and work/trainability. If you are looking for a solid working dog the sooner you place the questionnaire the better, this will help us to evaluate your needs and further contact you to the next step to be placed on the Natural Bond List. As we only have limited puppies available to the public from each litter the remained going directly to working placements it is best to offer as much information as possible so that we can offer you the best puppy for your lifestyle.

We have requirements to be met prior to obtaining a Natural Bond puppy; we do this in the best interest of our puppies and our puppy families. The more through we are the better a match will be. We only want the best possible homes for our puppies, homes as dedicated to our puppies long life as we have been to giving you the best possible puppy with health, great temperament, workability, solid conformation and brains. Each applicant will be reviewed and interviewed to determine that these requirements will be met. You will be notified by telephone or e-mail if you are accepted as a future puppy owner of a Natural Bond Labrador Retriever puppy, we will then give further information on reserving a Natural Bond Puppy.

Prior to taking home your Natural Bond Puppy you will be given information on training, feeding and care of your puppy and, a copy of the pedigree and any contracts that must be signed and completed. You will be given a list of supplies, which you will need prior to brining your puppy home.

When taking your Natural Bond Puppy home you will be given health records, a puppy pack which includes, towel with litter and Dams scent, toy, treats, water (there may be a water change from ours to your area), small bag of puppy food, as well as any additional information that we feel may be needed.

You will also receive the "Starting your Natural Bond Puppy off right" information package and report forms that follow the inoculations, vet checks, spay/neutering, weight and feeding of the puppy during the critical growth stages. These forms must be sent back at the stated intervals in order to activate your health guarantee.

We offer our families who purchase Natural Bond puppies life long support and advice on, health, nutrition, training, and questions that may arise. We ask in return that you give our Natural Bond puppies the best care possible, but we understand that circumstances do change in people's lives. Natural Bond asks that if those circumstances change you contact us and we will take your NB puppy/dog back at any age.
