Tip Top Family!
Every year, we hold back one puppy as our service dog prospect. This year we will be holding a puppy from our next litter.

Most of you may not know this, my love for the Labrador breed began with helping people train their therapy/service dogs. I became a certified trainer before I became a Labrador breeder.
This is a great opportunity for someone who needs a service dog to help them with everyday life.

If you are in need of a service dog, below are the requirements.

1. you must be 18 years or older.
2. No other dogs living in the home.
3. Provide a letter from your doctor outlining your disability.
4. disabilities include but are not limited to: mobility/anxiety/PTSD/autism
5. Be patient as this is a long process. I work with this puppy for at least 1 year before I send it to your home.
6. Must live in Arizona.
7. Ability to afford the purchase and care for your service dog.

We provide ongoing training to help you learn how to partner with your service dog.

If you feel this may help you and you fit the requirements, please reach out to me.

This is a great article from Endless Mountain Labradors. We are often asked the difference between English and American Labradors.
ENGLISH VS AMERICAN LABRADORS
What’s the difference between the “English” and the “American” (field) labs? There is such a big difference that the AKC has, at times, considered splitting the breed. There is a difference in build, as well as temperament. If you are looking for strictly a “field” dog for field trial competition, go for the American field dog. They are athletic, tall, lanky and thin but they can have very hyper, high-strung personalities which do not always lend themselves to being the best indoor “family dogs.” (Not every American lab will be this way, we are only talking in general terms!)
On the other hand, the English labs are blocky headed, stocky, shorter in their build, but should still maintain good movement and agility in the field. English labs are very sweet, quiet, mellow, lovely dogs. They still maintain their natural instinct to retrieve and use their noses, but will be much more controllable in the field, and will also be your family companion at your fireside after a day of hunting.
One of the reasons Endless Mt. Labradors stresses the “all-purpose” English lab is because we strive to develop ALL the best qualities of the Labrador, and we do not sacrifice one trait in order to emphasize another. If anything, we major on temperament, because a dog can be beautiful in conformation, and have a lovely pedigree, but if it does not pass our temperament test, it is out of our breeding criteria. (Feel free to read our many client references on our “Testimonials” page!)
The Labrador was originally bred to be able to navigate and swim in the icy waters off of Newfoundland. They have a thick undercoat which shields them from the extremes of both cold and heat. Labs first appeared in English maritime towns that were engaged in the fishing industry. Today, the lab is the most popular breed in the U.S. due to their versatility, sporting ability, and their roles as loyal companions. It has the substance and soundness to hunt waterfowl and upland game.
The lab has a short, dense, weather-resistant coat, and “otter” tail, a clean- cut head with a broad back skull and moderate stop, and kind, expressive eyes that communicate intelligence and good temperament. Labs have few health problems if bred by a reputable breeder who is selective and screens for defects in their breeding stock. Labs are also wonderfully “maintenance free”…no need for grooming, brushing, etc. Just clip their nails occasionally, give a bath every 2-3 months if kept indoors (they are very “non-oily” dogs, seldom ever “stinky”, and rarely need bathing) Do not “over bathe” it will cause flaking and may dull the coat.
Labs are very sensitive to food allergy that may affect their coat and skin (raw sores may erupt if not fed appropriate food!). Feed ONLY breeder- recommended foods and appropriate supplement. It will save you the headache and heartache of many trips to the vet for simple nutritional needs that specifically pertain to labs. Call us for our recommendations
