People ask if it’s hard to let the puppies go. It absolutely is. But getting updates like this lets us know that we are doing something right. All the work, time, and effort we put in is all worth it to see the happiness it brings others. God has blessed us by letting us bless others!Bleu, the only black male from our Anna Sue x Merlin litter, has found his home, no doubt about it! This was the text I received today about Bleu’s Thanksgiving:I have to say, he was EXTREMELY good on Thanksgiving. Everyone was so surprised that he is a puppy because he was that good lol he minded his own business the whole time, did not come to the kitchen once, did not come to the table. 🩵🥰you really do An amazing job with training. He is so smart!#paragonpuppy #littleboybleu #blessings #blacklabrador #thankful #thanksgivingblessings #goodboy #goodlife
We love our puppies! 🥰 We we have no doubt you will too. With our puppy program, we focus on making the experience from litter to forever home as positive as possible! We love answering questions and helping puppy buyers through the entire experience. And that doesn’t stop when you take your puppy home. We love getting updates and questions once they go home too! 🐾🐾We are with you for the life of your dog!! 🐾🐾#labpuppy #puppyprogram #youknowyouwantone #foxredlab #blacklabrador #yellowlab #paragonretrievers #paragonpuppy #uklabs
Positive association to the crate is so important. And when they are 6 weeks old labs that are always hungry, food is about as positive as it gets!! #paragonretrievers #foxredlab #uklabs #yellowlabs #blacklab #growingupparagon #britishlabsofinsta
Heard a rumor that it was National Black Dog Day, soooo……… Hhhheeeeerrrrreeee’s Hank! He was “helping” us clear a spot on the pond for throwing bumpers and shooting ducks. He wasn’t much help with the limbs, but he made sure to keep an eye on the 3 farm ducks that we have on the pond. He’s a good boy!! (P.S. it is a video, he just doesn’t move for the first few seconds. lol)

Wake up sleepy heads! It’s lunch time.
The puppies are getting big enough that Anna needs to be upright for them all to nurse. This is a good way for them to build muscle and dexterity, and is the start of mama weaning them. Their eyes are open, but things aren’t quite clear yet, so they have to use their nose to find their food supply, and by moving around the box, mama is also teaching them the importance of following their nose.
So many things are learned in their first 8 weeks of life, and it might not seem like much to us humans. But, man, oh man does it make a huge difference in developing a well rounded dog.

One of my favorite parts of having puppies is when their eyes and ears open and they respond to us being in their space. This is when the wiggle walking starts. The curiosity of their own howls. And the subtle start to the playfulness. We are so blessed to be able to experience this stage of their lives, and to be able to help nurture them as they prepare for their forever homes! #annasuexmerlinlitter2024 #paragonpuppy #paragonretrievers #mannalitter2024 #blacklabrador #foxredlab #yellowlab #youknowyouwantone #puppyprogram #growingupbritish #huntingdog #labpuppy #irishlabs #uklabradors #fununlimited #labradorpuppies #uklabs #labradorretriever #huntingdogs #labradorsofmissourri #animalovers #breedersthatcare #goodbreedersdoexist #paragonretrievers
Today during their ENS/ESI session we added their identity collars. As they grow, and when they start to move around and wrestle, this will serve as a friendly way to desensitize them for leash and collars later in life.Every interaction we have with our litters is intentional and thought out. We are always looking for ways to do better or improve their litter experience. Here at Paragon Retrievers and Gun Dogs, we are focused on the betterment of the breed and the relationship between the dogs and their families. #labpuppy #puppyprogram #irishlab #britishlab #youknowyouwantone #irishlab #annasuexmerlinlitter2024 #breedersthatcare #goodbreeding #goodbreedersdoexist

How it feels while waiting for hunt test season…… ⏳ Prepare. Wait. GET IT!! Alyssa and Merlin knocked it out of the park last year. Looking forward to seeing what they do this year!!! #agirlandherdog #seasonedwithlove #retriever #studdog
The puppy room is done and they have been moved in. With this move we’ve been able to incorporate more toys, obstacles, and the litter tray. They are just about weaned off mom, but she still has access to them whenever she wants and is still doing a great job of keeping them clean. Every day we add something new to their experience and get to watch them learn and explore!

It’s day break and the puppies are HUNGRY! Poor Faith. I’m glad my kids don’t talk to me like that first thing in the morning. She hasn’t even had her coffee yet!
