I am in California and could have sold my current litter several times over. I am trying to refer to other breeders, but not many breeders have puppies right now.

Same here. I'm in California and getting quite a few inquiries for puppies and even older puppies/dogs, but it seems either people aren't breeding as much, or they aren't advertising their litters. I rarely see an ad in the local clubs' newsletters with litter announcements. So different than it used to be a few years ago...

Are you informing the prospective buyers that there are 2 Lab clubs in NJ with Breeder Referral Listings on their websites? There are pups listed on both those sites and reputable breeders still seeking good homes.

Here are the links for both of them
Jersey Skylands LRC http://www.jslrc.com/BreederReferral.htm
Mid-Jersey LRC http://www.mjlrc.org/listings.html

There is always enough people looking for lab pups to be picky. Quite true. I NEVER have enough puppies for the inquires I get. I'm east coast as well.


You can also send people to the AKC site to search breeders by state under the Breeder of Merit program. I do this often because at least these people have been judged by their peers and are putting their dogs out there and being accountable for what they are producing.

There are a few listings for litters on Pawcatucks website litter listing ,
