Thank you for your interest in a Riorock Labrador Retriever. Riorock breeds the three recognized colors of the Labrador Retriever Black, Chocolate, and Yellow. Shades of Yellow can vary from light cream to fox red. Quality, Temperament, Type and Soundness is very important to us. Our Labradors are bred for Multipurpose ability. Our puppies make excellent companions and hunting partners. We breed for the classic English look, calm temperaments and willingness to please. Our dogs have the classic English look, calm temperaments and willingness to please. We retain the rights to at least the first (2) show prospect picks in every litter as we only do the breedings to carry on your next generation.

We only breed a few litters a year. Each litter is whelped and raised in our home for the first several weeks. The puppies receive lots of handling and socialization before going to their new homes at 8 weeks of age. They receive their first shot at 6 weeks. This shot will cover Parvo, Distemper, Adenovirus, and Parainfluenza. The puppies will be wormed several times before going home. You will receive puppy packet with AKC paperwork, pedigree, sample of food, feeding schedule, medical record that includes shots and wormings that your puppy received when you pick up your puppy. All puppies will have been seen by our vet before being released into the new owners care. We want new owners to take their new puppy to a vet of their choice within 72 hours of picking up the puppy from us. Your vet will help you set up a schedule of their chose to finish the series of puppy shots and it is recommend to have your vet start the puppy on heartworm medications. This is very important in many parts of the US.

Our puppies come with a 2 year written guarantee on the hips and eyes, along with a spay/neuter agreement. All parents have had OFA Clearances, Optigen tested for (PRA-PRCD), ACVO (CERF) Eyes, Heart Cleared, EIC(Exercise Induced Collapse) and CNM tested to help us prevent any of these diseases. All breeders should be doing the DNA Genetic testing of PRA, EIC, and CNM to prevent producing puppies that are affected with these conditions. These genetic testing let us be 100% certain not to produce puppies with these conditions.

We recommend that you put a deposit down to hold a puppy. The deposits are non refundable for any reason you decide not to take a puppy. Once we receive deposits we start turning away potential buyers. This way we know what and how many we have available. Our puppies are not available to Brokers or Pet stores.

All of our puppies are sold on an AKC limited registration which means the puppy cannot be bred or shown in conformation but may be in obedience, agility, and hunt tests. Limited registration helps preserve and protect our lines from irresponsible breeding practices.

We can ship if you are out of state. The puppies will be shipped out on the best flight there is available when weather permits. You will be required to pay the cost of shipping, the crate, and health check to fly the puppy. Puppies can start being shipped at 8 weeks of age. If you need to have the puppy shipped to you, please have the name of Airport that you prefer to have the puppy shipped in to.
