FAQs

In 2024, our English Labrador puppies' price begins at $6500 and increases from there. When people ask why our English Labs cost so much, we give three answers:
The quality of our full English Labradors is simply unmatched. They are descended from the highest-quality Labs bred in America over the last five decades.
We don’t just sell puppies. We join your family in our comprehensive program from start to finish. Our professional training is a very important part of what we offer.
Our owners, kennel staff, lead team, and state-of-the-art facility are here for you and your dog throughout its entire life. When you purchase one of our pups, you and our team embark on a forever relationship that we take very seriously.

Over the years, we have had so many people place deposits after we have worked tirelessly to produce their puppy and then back out. Most people are unaware of the extensive work of raising a litter of puppies. With the rising costs of veterinarian bills, surgical implants and C-sections, and the labor involved in raising a litter, we desire to be in relationships with only very serious Labrador buyers. We typically see a wait time of 6 months to a year for our pups, and most are paid for before they are even born. The demand for our labradors is beyond anything we would have ever believed.

Sales tax may apply, depending on the state in which you live. Once we receive your payment, we will put you on our active waiting list.

No, our Labradors have a non-refundable policy once a puppy has been purchased. There is only one exception to this policy, which has to do with any potential failed medical examinations of your puppy at your veterinarian's office within the first seven days of arriving at your home. One of the things that set us apart is that our veterinarian thoroughly examined all of our puppies before we even began to show you pictures or even before the selection of your puppy. We have found that this process eliminates any disappointment for your family. A refund will be issued only once a puppy has been returned to us upon failing an exam. Below is more information concerning the health examination process: (We never refund any part of the Training) Our trainers are independent of our kennel. Please review their contract extensively.
Initial Health Exam - For the health warranty to be valid, the purchaser agrees to have the puppy examined by a veterinarian within seven working days of the transfer. If the puppy is diagnosed with an existing medical problem, the puppy may be returned for a full refund. If requested by the Breeder, the purchaser must provide the Breeder with an evaluation from a second veterinarian of the Breeder’s choice at the Breeder’s expense before any payment. We must be informed immediately of the initial vet examination by email at gene@smokymtnlabradors.com. If we do not receive notice of the vet examination, all guarantees are no longer valid.
If the buyer’s vet establishes a significant problem with the puppy upon initial examination, which would identify any genetic illness, then the buyer should initiate a claim for the puppy. At the buyer’s expense, the buyer should return the puppy to the seller if the seller requests it. There is a specific protocol for this—please contact our office immediately. We are known nationwide for the highest level of customer service in the Labrador World.
Due to Parvo Virus and Kennel Cough running rampant at veterinarian offices, local pet stores, and roadside rest areas around the country, we are not liable for this disease.
