A little bit about our small piece of fame

 

First I need to tell you how I came to be a admirer of the Labrador breed.

In 1972 Myself My young bride and a 9 month old Black lab named WINGS decided like young fools we were going to become rich by becoming gamblers.  We sold everything we owned and in an old Chrysler we headed from Alameda California to Reno Nevada With a whole 4500.00.

Near 2am we crossed the Serria Nevada's on I-80 dead winter and a couple feet of snow on the ground. Near Donner Pass off to the side of the road we saw a car with the hood up and 2 guys walking. I stopped and offered them a ride. With the rear seat area full of clothes, blankets, dog and a few personal things (they both joined us in the front) we started again. As soon as I was moving the one near my young wife pulled out a switchblade knife and stuck it against my wife's stomach. He then said You go up the road about a mile and turn to the right take the dirt road and we are going to take your car, money and what ever else we want!!!

I was so scared but what could I do with him on the other side of my wife? any quick move and she could get stabbed!! I slowed the car as much as I could but got warnings from them and tears from my wife. The few minutes passed and we reached the road. I started the turn and saw a flash out of the corner of my eye.

It was Wings !!! he rose to the seat from where he had been ( on the rear floorboard ) Placed a paw on each of their shoulders, placed his head between theirs, And in amazement ( I'm crying now as i remember and try to write this) I saw that he was frothing at the mouth I MEAN IT WAS RUNNING He growled a deeper growl then I have ever heard from any dog!!! His jaw was shaking!!! as he turned his head from one to the other back N forth he looked them in the eyes.

Quickly I reached very gently and placed my hand on the hand holding the knife!! and said MOVE AND MY DOG WILL KILL YOU!! THAT'S WHAT HE'S TRAINED TO DO!!

Wings had never had a day's training. Wings had never even barked at someone!!

I Stopped the car and had them get out and strip!! move away from the clothes and we left them there!!!

NUDE!! In 2 feet of snow!!!

OK OK OK Any type of dog might come to the aid to their master under distress. But this dog had laid there on the rear floorboard and listened AND PLANED WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO!! how do I know this? 

When I saw him rise He was already frothing at the mouth. He did not jump up and start biting This would have lead to too many quick movements and someone would have been hurt.

This dog saved My life and I will love and raise labs till the day I die and join Wings.

ok back to the reason for making this page in the first place. Our small bit of fame and the reasons why.

1: Our love for the breed

2: Because of that love Our dedication to produce both physically and mentally healthy AKC Labrador puppies.

3: Our puppy training & socialization program.

4: Our website does something that no other company/business that I'm aware of. Through our lab chat we put people in contact with others that have adopted from us in the past.

Recently we have closed the lab chat due to spammers

5: And new to our site is our Live cam. We have done this for the enjoyment of the adopting families to share in the birth of their newest family member. A WALABS puppy.

well this has gotten a bit longer then I planned I hope you have enjoyed it.

Questions and Answers

Question 1: At what age will my puppy be ready to go home?

Answer: We do not say an age but most times its between 7 and 8 weeks, The reason for this is we determined the going home date by your puppies learning not by age. We want your puppy to be ready for all he/she may be facing. Sometimes if the adopting family has very young children we may need a few days of learning to be ready. Or if your puppy is one of the smaller pups in the litter he/she may need to be a bit stronger to be able to deal with a Childs way of cuddling and being toted around.

Question 2: I have heard the runt is the smartest of the litter is this true?

Answer: No / Yes well it can be, Let me explain first what a "Runt" is. Humans and Labs differ in the way they can get pregnant in this manner. If a human gets pregnant on Monday she can not get pregnant on Friday, or the following Monday, A Labrador is in heat for 10 to 12 days and can be impregnated on any of these days and even all these days. So your "Runt" is a puppy that was created on or near the last days of the heat yet born the same day as the rest of the litter. To sum it up the "Runt" is just younger then the rest of the litter. now that this part is clear lets discuss how/way the "Runt" may be/ seem smarter. during the earlier days of nursing every meal is so important and a larger pup will bulldoze his/her way to the nipple but the runt not having the size and bulk must be clever to get to the meal and often develops at an earlier stage a thought pattern that aids in survival.  

Question 3: What shots and vaccines will my WALABS puppy get?

Answer: Your WALABS Labrador puppy will get his/her first set of shots the Vanguard 5 (5 shots in one) Canine Distemper-Adenovirus Type 2-Paranfluenza-Parvovirus.

ALSO "Bordetella" for Bordetella bronchiseptica and parainfluenza ( kennel cough)

ALSO Deccox powder a feed additive for the preventive of coccidian parasites.

ALSO Albon   Albon (sulfadimethoxine) Suspension is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in cats and dogs. It can also treat coccidial infections, which are caused by a microscopic, spore-forming, single-celled parasite that infects the intestinal tract. Albon requires a prescription from your veterinarian.

ALSO (Yes there is more) Panacur.  What is Panacur? Panacur is a dewormer used to control large and small strongyles, cyathostome larvae, pinworms, ascarids, and arteritis caused by fourth stage larvae of S. vulgaris.

Question 4: Will my puppy see a vet before coming home?

Answer: Yes all WALABS puppies get a vet health check-up before going home and you get a copy of the report and a copy of all the medications your puppy gets.

Question: Why are WALABS puppies priced at 800.00?

Answer: Please reread questions 3 and 4

Question: When do I pick out my puppy?

Answer: We don't do the pick out puppy thing. And here is why We have raised Labradors for more then 30 years and have learned that picking out a puppy because its cute, He/she is bolder then a sibling, because he/she shows no fear when placed on his/her back, does NOT make a good choice. We ask a few personal questions about your family/lifestyle and socialize your puppy to fit the environment they are about to face.   

I'm sure we will have much more to add to this page and welcome your input and questions.
