Quality.
That's the word that best describes the Eromit breeding program. Our dogs are selected from lines excelling in these four
parameters:
Temperament - Dogs must be friendly towards people and other animals, cooperative, forgiving, and biddable. They should be
accepting of strangers, unusual situations, noises and smells. Dogs in our program should be easily trainable by even a
first-time dog owner. Our dogs are known for having a 'sixth sense' with children and small pets and play very gently with them.
Health - All breeding stock are certified to be clear of diseases found in Labradors. This includes WCVM/OFA/OVC certification
against hip and elbow displaysia, CERF clearance for genetic eye problems, and tested status for prcd-PRA, RD/OSD, CNM and
EIC. We strive to produce dogs who are physically tough, resistant to injury and unaffected by genetic disease. Good working
conformation is a must.
Natural Hunting Ability - In order to excel as a working dog, Labs should have a great desire (drive) to perform their trained
duties. Courageous, eager, enthusiastic, and persistent are words that describe a high drive dog. Our dogs are well known for
their exceptional drive, and for their 'off-switch' - our Labs are able to relax when off-duty and do not constantly remain in drive.
Eromit Labs are active and energetic but NOT hyper. Retrieving traits such as birdiness, soft-mouth, marking, and lining are
partially heritable traits and tested in our breeding dogs to produce puppies who are able to perform to superior level in the
field.
Athleticism - We select breeding stock that are able to perform quickly, with sustained endurance, and without getting injured.
A good retriever, like any good working dog, often is subject to long days in the field and a well-bred dog can get the job done
day in and day out. Our Labs are medium sized, rugged, and agile. They are sufficiently strong enough to retrieve downed
geese, while being nimble and quick on their toes for upland hunting, agility or SAR.

How Our Puppies Are Raised
Our puppies are born and raised in our home, in a dedicated 'puppy
room' which is a quiet place where mom can tend to their needs
without disturbance. The puppy room is equipped with it's own
heating and cooling system to ensure a steady temperature. It also
hosts a 'spy cam' - a video camera that allows us to keep a constant
eyes on the youngsters.
Getting each puppy off to the right start is incredibly important. From
day one, each puppy is handled by humans. We start out with a
close inspection of each puppy as soon as possible after birth.
Puppies are individually identified by a unique ribbon collar and their
weight gains are recorded every day. Eromit puppies undergo Early
Neurological Stimulation- this is a daily regime of handling that
promotes brain development and helps to increase the learning
capacity of the brood. We also try to take pictures of each puppy
every week day and videos are posted weekly on our website.
As the puppies senses develop, we begin their socialization.
Different lighting conditions, sounds, and smells are presented. At
around four weeks, puppies begin to spend a bit of time each day
away from their litter mates. They will begin to spend some
time outdoors in nice weather, and will be presented with an
enriched environment. We allow them to explore walking on
different surfaces (carpet, lino, grass, gravel, dirt); they are
introduced to different toys (toys that squeak, rattle, are furry or
bouncy) and we add new objects into their area (tunnels, tippy
boards, kiddie pools, etc). They will experience gunfire and birds,
spend time around children, cats, older dogs and will learn about
being bathed and groomed. Each puppy will be introduced to crate
training as well. Depending on the weather, puppies may be allowed
to swim or play in snow and ice.
By six weeks of age, puppies are completely weaned and eating
solid food - although sometimes mom insists this happens sooner!
All pups are vaccinated at 6 weeks. They will also be dewormed (as
they were at 2 and 4 weeks). We do not paper train our puppies
because this makes housetraining more difficult in the long run.
However, puppies begin the house breaking process and we will
show you what sort of signal your puppy makes when he or she
needs to 'go'.
At around 6 weeks of age, we will begin the process of evaluating
puppies for selections. This process may last until their 8th week.
Puppies are evaluated in terms of their temperament, structure, and
their reactions to all the new things they have experienced.
Because we have spent so much time with the little ones, we will
have a good idea of what sort of personality each has developed.
And because we are so familiar with our line of Labs, we will be able
to choose the perfect puppy to meet your needs, based on your sex
and color preference, your future goals, and any specific traits you
are looking for in a dog. In this sense, everyone gets a 'first pick'
puppy! Puppies are ready to go to their new homes no sooner than 8
weeks of age.
Reserving a Puppy
There can be a lot of excitement involved with acquiring a Lab puppy
and we try to announce our litter plans as far in advance as we can,
which gives new owners the time to plan (and puppy proof their
houses!) It also gives us the chance to meet you and get to
know what you are looking for in a puppy. Current Litters and
Future Litters are both listed on our website.
If you see a planned breeding that you are interested in, please call
or email us. Litters are often sold out prior to being born, so once
you have decided that an Eromit puppy is what you are looking for,
we encourage you to contact us in order to confirm your
reservation. Deposits ($200) should be accompanied by our puppy
reservation form - we will notify you when the deposit is received
and let you know your selection order. As the puppies grow, you will
be able to come and visit them or if you are from out of town, watch
the website for frequent photo and video updates.
Purchasing a Puppy
Puppies cost $1000 - $1500 (plus applicable taxes) and pricing
details will be posted on the individual litter page. The entire
purchase price is due (minus the deposit that has been paid) at the
time of puppy pickup. If you are planning on having your puppy
shipped, please let us know in advance so that we can confirm that
a flight is available to your area. A $50 fuel charge (for flights leaving
from Prince George) in addition to crate, veterinary certificate and
shipping charges must be paid in full prior to shipping - we will make
all flight arrangements with at least 2 weeks notice of preferred
shipping date. Puppies flying to the U.S. will be charged fuel
expenses to cover the 18 hour round trip drive to the nearest
international airport (SeaTac)- if more than one puppy is flying out,
we will of course split the expenses between buyers.
What is included in the price:
* Puppy Owner's Manual (sent in advance so you are prepared!)
* Documentation
* Purchase Agreement & 30 month Health Guarantee
* 6 Weeks of Health Insurance (Canadian buyers only)
* Puppy's Individual Health records & Pedigree

Within 6 months of purchase, your puppy's CKC registration papers
will be forwarded to you. And as always, we are available any time to
answer any questions you may have. We provide breeder support
for life! We also have a lifetime return policy - if you cannot keep
your Eromit dog, you may return it to us at any time. We are
committed to the well being of each puppy produced, for it's entire
life.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not sell puppies to Puppy Mills, Brokers, or Pet
Stores. We do not sell puppies as breeding stock for mixed breed
'designer dogs'. We reserve the right to refuse sale to anyone for
