Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that bringing a puppy into your home is a big decision. Below are answers to the most common questions we receive - because transparency builds trust, and trust matters.
Are your puppies purebred?
Yes. All of our puppies are purebred Labrador Retrievers from carefully selected bloodlines. We breed to preserve the true standards of the Labrador - temperament, structure, and intelligence.
Are your dogs registered?
Absolutely. Our breeding dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC). Each puppy goes home with AKC registration paperwork.
Do you health test your breeding dogs?
Yes. Health is a top priority at River Creek Labradors. Our breeding dogs are tested and certified through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) for hips and elbows and are screened for common genetic conditions associated with Labradors. We are committed to responsible breeding practices that protect the future of the breed.
How are your puppies raised?
Our puppies are born and raised inside our home - never in outdoor kennels. They receive daily hands-on interaction, early neurological stimulation, exposure to household sounds, and structured socialization. This early foundation helps create confident, well-adjusted companions.
What comes with my puppy?
Each River Creek Labrador puppy goes home with: AKC registration papers, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming records, veterinary health check, and written health guarantee.
