Jimjoy Labradors
Breeders of Show Quality Black, Yellow and Chocolate Labradors for over 50 years
Our Puppies
We have been established breeders of black, yellow and chocolate Labradors for over 50 years. Puppies are often available, all bred from health tested parents not only of superb quality from long-established proven bloodlines, but also with wonderful temperaments - a factor on which we place great importance. If you would like to enquire about present or future availability, please complete an enquiry form and we'll get back to you promptly.
What happens next ...
When your enquiry is received, you will either be invited to arrange an appointment to view if puppies of your chosen colour/gender are available at the time, or we will let you know when they're likely to be available and ask if you wish to be placed on the waiting list. We will then contact you again when a suitable litter is a week or two old, giving you details of the sire and dam (including pedigrees and photos), and asking whether you would like to be contacted when the litter is ready for viewing, which is normally around 4/5 weeks of age. The puppies are then ready for collection at 8 weeks.
Our standards ...
All our dogs are kept in impeccable conditions, which are regularly inspected by the local council's Environmental Health Officer and a senior veterinary surgeon. Our Licence (22/00477/ANIACT) holds the top-rated award of 5 stars and is on display for anyone wishing to see it when they visit to view a litter. We take advantage of all relevant KC/BVA health testing schemes and all our puppies have a full health check here by our vet before they go to their new homes.
Important considerations ...
If we may, we'd like to check that you've carefully considered the huge responsibility and long-term commitment of buying a Labrador puppy, which is going to mature into a large, strong dog requiring plenty of daily exercise! Homes where the puppy is to be left alone for several hours are unsuitable, as it will require company, care, supervision and training. It will be necessary to have a fully-fenced garden for their sole use and, whilst Labradors are generally wonderful with small children, puppies obviously should not be regarded as their playthings! Lecture over!
They're ready for anything! ...
Whilst the majority of our puppies are bought as companions, their intelligence and adaptability has enabled many of them to enjoy successful careers, not only in their 'natural' role as gundogs, but also as guide dogs for the blind, hearing dogs for deaf people, sniffer dogs, dogs for the disabled, and - in one case - champion truffle hunter of France!
A handy guide to care ...
Prior to visiting to choose a puppy, you will be emailed a copy of our booklet 'Feeding, Training and Care of your Labrador Puppy'. If you would like to download a copy so that you can prepare any questions you may have arising from it before your visit please do so here.
Always here to help ...
Realising the enormous responsibility of buying a puppy (it's common for a Labrador to live into its teens) we are always here to offer advice throughout the dog's life. Just drop us an email with any queries or concerns.
