After approval, families can place a deposit on our "Deposits" page under the litter in which you are seeking. We take only a few deposits per litter, and you will need to commit to a particular color and sex.

While we do allow families the option to place a deposit for a particular pick, we cannot guarantee sex/color with a litter. However, we do offer to transfer to an available puppy or future litter if we have one. We are also happy to refund your deposit! We try our best to place our families with a puppy.

Our English Labradors cannot leave until they are 8 weeks of age. Doing so will ensure that the puppy has had plenty of time to socialize and learn essential behavioral skills. Before leaving, puppies go through early neurological stimulation (ENS), and are started on crate training as well as clicker training. They are raised indoors only, and exposed to various sounds, and surfaces.

Health is a priority here at Cadron Ridge Labradors. All breeding dogs have gone through recommended health testing per The Labrador Retriever parent club (LRC) and the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). Copies of all health testing is also provided with each puppy portfolio. Additionally, before leaving, each puppy goes through an extensive overall health check with our veterinarian to ensure that each puppy is healthy before leaving. All puppies are current on age appropriate vaccines and deworming before going home.

Committing to a puppy is a very serious decision. We do understand that life can happen. Deposits are non-refundable, but can be transferred to a future litter. However, the cutoff point to retain your deposit and transfer to a future litter is when the puppy is 4 weeks of age. The day they turn 5 weeks of age, you will not be able to retain your deposit and transfer to a future litter. You would be required to place a new deposit for a future litter. For this reason, we ask that you seriously think about adding a puppy to your family BEFORE placing your deposit and committing to a puppy. Again, this will be your new family member, and this decision should not be taken lightly.

We are located in Greenbrier, Arkansas. About 35/40 minutes away from the airport located in Little Rock, Arkansas.

We strongly recommend waiting until a dog is between the ages of 18-24 months before spaying or neutering. A dog is constantly growing throughout puppyhood and adolescence. During these periods, not only do dogs get bigger, but their bones and joints fully form. If a dog is spayed or neutered too early, the lack of mature reproductive organs impacts hormone production, preventing connective tissues from developing properly. There are a multitude of articles sharing insight on the negative effects of spaying/neutering early. For more information, please view the article shared by AKC: https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/news/study-updates-spay-neuter-guidelines/

We proudly stand behind each breeding, and do offer a health guarantee for a specific period, ensuring that your pet is free of genetic defects or illnesses upon purchase. Please refer to our contract for details.

Absolutely! We are happy to provide multiple referrals from previous families. Many of which own 2-3 Cadron dogs!

As a small hobby breeder, our Labradors are raised in our home. For this reason, we do not allow random visitors to just pop in, as we are sure you can understand as to why. Additionally, we do not have a "barn in the back" where our dogs are raised. All of our dogs are family and treated as such. When we have a litter, they are raised inside our home. We do not even allow for them to go outside until they've had their first set of vaccinations. Health and safety is our priority!

We are always available for support after our puppies leave. You have to remember that we loved them first! We hand whelp each puppy, raise them, and love them before leaving. We are just as committed to the puppy as you are, and want to always be available to help when needed. We even have a "Cadron Ridge Family Page" on Facebook just for Cadron homes. It is a fun way for us to connect, share fun memories, stories, etc of our Cadron dogs. We also pop in and ask if anyone needs tips, help, etc. This is definitely not required, but is a lot of fun!

After placing your deposit, you will be guaranteed a particular place in line for the sex/color of your choice given the fact that we were able to fill your deposit. We post regular updates on our Facebook page. At 3 weeks of age, we post individual portraits of each puppy, and will do this until age 6 weeks. At 6 weeks, picks are made in the order of deposits. We are very forthcoming in helping families make the decision based on what their wants/needs are. I.E. Looking for a service dog, hunting companion, "fat, lazy puppy", etc.
