Merganser
Puppies
The goal of Merganser Labrador Retrievers is to produce
good looking intelligent dogs that have a strong desire to
retrieve, are structurally and genetically sound, have that
wonderful loveable Labrador Retriever temperament, and are
exceptional family companions and hunting partners.
Merganser Labrador Retrievers gives a written guarantee
on your pup's hips and eyes. Pups have dewclaws removed,
receive first shots, are wormed, well socialized, crate conditioned,
and introduced to birds and water (weather permitting). We
request that you use "Merganser" or "Merganser's" in
your pup's AKC registered name but will honor guarantees
if you decide otherwise. Registration is "Full" with
no limitations. A $100 deposit is required to reserve a pup.
It is 100% refundable up until the date of whelping or if
there is not a pup available for you. You will be notified
within 48 hours after whelping. Full payment is due within
three weeks after whelping.

sired by our stud dogs, Matlock, Radar, Hacker, Bones,
