Puppies Available for Adoption
Liberty Creek strives to breed the best all around Labrador for show, field, and companion, which is a quality dog with sound temperament and health. In my breeding program, I believe Labradors should be true to the AKC breed standard as well as free from inheritable health conditions. I place my puppies in wonderful life long homes. All of my breeding labs have been screened by Orthopedic Foundation for Animals joint and eye clearances including CERF and Optigen and stud dogs have DNA profiles. All my puppies are whelped and raised in my home, so they are the center of constant attention. They leave for their new homes no sooner than 8 weeks of age. Before they leave with their new families, they had been dewormed at 2, 3, 4, and 6 weeks and receive their first vaccine. They are also microchipped. New owners received a puppy folder containing a record of immunization, health and training booklets, a litter pedigree, copies of parent's health clearances and an American Kennel Club registration application My puppies are well socialized to include people, children, dogs, toys, and kiddie pool (weather permitting). My puppies also come with paperwork including information feeding, socializing, care and training tips for the puppy. I recommend you locate a 'puppy kindergarten' class. Almost all of Liberty Creek puppies are sold on AKC "Limited Registration" I take deposits once the mother has been confirmed to be pregnant and/or puppies have been whelped.
At Liberty Creek, our Labrador puppies excel in type, soundness, temperament and natural retrieving ability. All of our breeding dogs have OFA clearances and yearly ACVO eye exams. We ask all prospective buyers to submit a puppy questionnaire. Normal Contract Most puppies adopted from Liberty Creek Labradors are on Limited Registration. Limited Registration means that the dog is eligible for registration with the American Kennel Club, however, any offspring produced by the dog would not be eligible. Furthermore, dogs which are registered with a limited registration are ineligible to enter bench competition (dog shows); they are, however, eligible to enter all other AKC events including, but not limited to field trials, hunt tests, obedience trials, and agility trials. Most puppies purchased through Liberty Creek Labradors are adopted as companion dogs by owners who have no interest in breeding or showing; therefore, limited registration will have no bearing on these dogs. Co-Ownership Contract Dogs adopted under limited registration are ineligible for bench (show) competition. Therefore, if you are adopting a puppy from Liberty Creek Labradors with the intent to show and/or breed the dog, it is essential that you communicate this to the breeder prior to purchasing the dog. Liberty Creek Labradors offers a co-ownership contract by which the dog will be sold with full registration. Under this agreement, the purchaser will be listed as the owner of the dog and the breeder will be listed as the co-owner. Because the AKC requires signatures of both the owner and co-owner for litter registrations, this allows Liberty Creek Labradors (the Co-owner) to ensure responsible breeding, but will also allow the Owner to exhibit the dog competitively. Under this agreement, Liberty Creek Labradors does not require any obligation from the Owner in terms of financial compensation as a result of breeding of the dog. When certain criteria are met, as outlined in the Co-Ownership Contract, Liberty Creek will assign full ownership to the owner.  A Dog's Plea Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me. Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn. Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear. Please take me inside when it is cold and wet, for I am a domesticated animal no longer accustomed to bitter elements. I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food that I may stay well to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger. And my friend, when I am very old and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going - I am not having any fun. Please see that my trusting life is taken gently. I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath I draw that my fate was always safest in your hands.
