☆Deposits & General Information☆

☆Pick Up☆

​

I do not ship puppies!  Purchaser can drive in or fly in to DFW & carry on or use a flight nanny out of OKC/Will Rogers Airport.  I do not meet customers or nannies at DFW airport. I reserve the right to only sell to breeders that have a website & I can verify that you are indeed a small scale breeder.  It is my prerogative to choose to not sell to anyone acting suspicious or being wishy washy about picking up face to face, as I prefer to transfer my babies on my premises & meet the new puppy parents. These are strange times & many puppy "scammers" are trying to stock up on pups to resell. Pups are released to their new homes at 7 weeks.

☆ Health Guarantee ☆

All of my pups come with a written 26 month genetic health guarantee & a 72 hour business day vet check full refund genetic soundness/health guarantee. Dew claws are removed at 3 days old.  They are vaccinated at 6 weeks & de-wormed every 2 weeks.  They will come with a Puppy starter kit, toys, a sample of NuVet Vitamins &  micro-chipped. Our 26 month genetic health guarantee is for a replacement pup only & applies to life threatening genetic disorders only.  Puppy must be vetted within 3 business days of receipt of pup, after that this guarantee has no cash value.  As do many breeders, I require that "Sterling Creek" be used as a prefix or suffix in your puppies AKC name.

​

PUP MUST BE MAINTAINED ON THE NUVET VITAMINS & ordered using my breeder's code (52900) to keep your health guarantee in FULL FORCE.  Many breeders have started requiring this because, unfortunately, the majority of dogs and cats are not receiving a complete, healthy diet and many become ill and die prematurely. NuVet Labs™' main purpose is to help increase your pet's longevity and quality of life. NuVet is loaded with cancer fighting vitamins & is dynamic for skin allergies and dull coats.  They also promote a healthy immune system & increases longevity and activity levels in older arthritic dogs as well.  Give these as a treat for only 20-30 cents a day! Order NOW for when your puppy comes home!

☆ AKC Registration of "Silvers" ☆
Labrador Retrievers that express the dilution gene (dd) are recognized and registered by the American Kennel Club (AKC) based on their foundation genetic colors, Black, Yellow, or Chocolate.
- Labradors that are descriptively called “Silver” are registered as their base genetic color Chocolate.
- Labradors that are descriptively called “Charcoal” are registered as their base genetic color Black.
- Labradors that are descriptively called “Champagne” are registered as their base genetic color Yellow.
The policy of registering light shades of the breed standard-described colors was established after a joint investigation by the AKC and Labrador Retriever Club of America (LRC) in the 1980’s, wherein breed purity of “Silver” Labradors was also confirmed.”

The use of descriptive color names is not new to the Labrador breed. Most common is the use of "White" for genetically Yellow Labradors that lack most of their pigment in the hair. The old breed studbooks contain many other descriptive iterations of the accepted colors, jet=Black, slate=Black, champagne=Yellow, cream=Yellow, butterscotch=Yellow, liver=Chocolate, brown=Chocolate, etc....
