Josh’s experience

  • About Josh

    We live on a 60 acre farm with cows and horses. I have four beautiful daughters ages 3-9. All our pups are born inside our home and raised inside our home until they find their forever families. Our kids are a huge part of the puppies lives from day one.

  • What makes Josh’s program special

    We take a lot of pride in our program. All of our dogs have OFA hips and elbow clearances and genetic testing before we will breed any adult dog. We have a sire who is close to getting into the 500 point club and is a HRCH and MH.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

Our puppies are born and raised inside our home along side our 4 kids so socialization starts very early for our pups. We also start crate and potty training. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Crate Training and Potty Training.

Puppy health practices

All puppies are vaccinated, dewormed, and seen by a licensed veterinarian before going to their new homes.

Extras

Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While New Life Labradors hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
