Reservations
Aisling offers Labrador puppies for sale through a process in which we get to know you and the environment our puppies will be living in once they leave our home. But before we get to the Contact Form, we want you to understand our policies and procedures. Thanks for taking the time to read this page through.
Updated Breeder’s Information Notice
We regret to inform prospective buyers that we are no longer able to sell puppies to individuals who live in, or plan to move to, California.
A recently enacted California law permits a buyer to obtain a full refund while retaining ownership of the puppy. This statute has not yet been tested in court, and there is currently no clear legal framework that adequately protects hobby breeders under these circumstances.
Until the law is clarified or successfully challenged, and clear protections for responsible hobby breeders are established, we must decline all inquiries and sales involving California residents or anyone intending to relocate there.
We appreciate your understanding and wish you the best in finding a suitable puppy from a breeder able to work within California’s current regulations.
Communication!
At Aisling Labradors of NE Florida, it is our goal to treat our customers as we wish to be treated and we expect the same from those to whom we extend this courtesy. Once a reservation has been placed, we will communicate with you throughout the entire process. And we ask that in return, a prompt reply to our emails is received to confirm your ability to provide a home for the puppy being held for you. Those on our waiting lists receive all the same communications as our reservation holders.
An email when....
our girl comes into season....
You will receive an email on day one of a heat so that you can begin to prepare for your puppy's arrival!
An email when....
She has been bred and another when we have confirmed the pregnancy!
Once the breeding has taken place, you will be provided with the approximate date of birth of your puppy. You will also hear the tentative dates of Puppy Pick Out and Go Home days so you can mark your calendars!
An email when ....
your puppy has been born!
This is the most exciting email of all! This is when the dates for Pick Out and Pick Up will be made firm so you can clear your schedules and be ready to choose your puppy and then finally, welcome your new family member into your home.
And the communication doesn't stop there. Our Facebook and Instagram page are updated several times each week with updates on the litter's progress and with weekly videos in our "Watch Them Grow" series.
Puppy Pick Out Day!
Appointment Email
When the litter reaches 4 weeks of age, we schedule the appointments for Puppy Pick Out. Appointments are scheduled in the order of the receipt of reservations.
We ask that you confirm your appointment by the Monday following this email.
Pick Out Day
Using the information you have provided us through the journey from approval, we guide your choice of puppy based upon our assessment of temperament.
If you have a name already chosen for your new family member, we begin to call the puppy by that name.
After Puppy Pick Out Day
We send out our Puppy Care Packet via email before you bring home your new puppy. While you wait for Pick Up Day, this packet helps prepare you for the puppy's transition from our home to yours!
Pick UP Day!
Aisling Labradors puppies go home at 8 weeks of age with their first round of vaccinations completed and Health Certification as required by Florida Law. Appointments are nearly always scheduled on the Saturday following their 8 week birthday. Going home on a Saturday allows the weekend for the family to help the pup transition before returning to work and school on Monday.
Please Note: Puppies go home on the Saturday after their 8 week birthday. Because we give dates for pick OUT and pick UP well in advance (with the confirmation of pregnancy), there is a $30.00 per night boarding fee charged for late pickups for any reason.
Microchips
Your puppy comes home already microchipped. We recommend registering with AKC ReUnite as it is the most used database for Pure Bred Dogs in the U.S.; a one-time registration fee allows you to update your information for the lifetime of your dog.
30 Days of Free Insurance
We provide 30 days of free insurance with no waiting period for accident and injury via Trupanion. You will also be offered an additional 30 days of free coverage when you register your puppy with the AKC. We HIGHLY recommend that your puppy is insured with AKC Pet Insurance with its HereditaryPlus add-on for at least the first two years.
Lifetime Support
You will receive Aisling's puppy care booklet before Pick UP day to allow you time to learn or remember the best ways to feed, train and socialize your new family member. And we are always a phone call or email away!
The Approval Process
Reservations
We accept 3 reservations per gender per litter; in a dual colored litter, we accept 2 reservations per gender of each color expected.
Puppies are considered sold when a reservation is made and is no longer made available to others, therefore reservation fees are non-refundable but transferrable one time.
Contact Form
The approval process begins with the contact form below.
We will respond via email within 24 hours in most cases.
If you are interested in moving forward in the approval process, please respond to the email.
Approval
Once the approval process has been completed and you have confirmed that you want to reserve a puppy from a specific litter, the reservation fee must be received within 24 hours. We consider the reservation closed upon receiving your confirmation; after that 24 hours, the reservation will be opened and made available to others. Reservation fees are paid via Zelle.
YOU MUST FILL OUT EVERY FIELD IN THE FORM BELOW TO SUCCESSFULLY SUBMIT IT. IF YOUR FORM DOES NOT GO THROUGH, BE CERTAIN YOU HAVE FILLED OUT THE FIRST BOX ON THE SECOND PAGE AND RETRY SUBMISSION. THANK YOU.
We reserve the right to use a different stud for any breeding. There may be times when a stud is not available due to health or other issues which may result in a litter of a different color due to the coat color genes all Labradors carry. The health and well-being of our Labradors comes first in all things. Thank you for your understanding. We also reserve the right to choose to keep any puppy that shows promise for our breeding program and to transfer or refund any reservation for any reason.
Proud to register with the AKC
Puppies are sold with a Limited AKC Registration and must be spayed or neutered at the appropriate age unless otherwise agreed. Full Registration is sometimes available to approved families interested in showing or breeding their Labrador under additional terms and conditions. The registered name of your puppy must include the prefix "Aisling's" to preserve your health warranty.
