Hello from Texas

Hi. I come here looking for guidance, I have a 10 month old chocolate, Cookie who is absolutely the best. Now we added a new member to the family, Jake, or Batman as my baby girl calls him; he is a 5 week old black lab. We were thinking about adding a second lab later on but the opportunity to "rescue" this little guy presented itself. It is a challenge but he deserves a good life and we wanna give it to him. So I come here like I said looking for guidance.

Have a great day.

Sadly, in some parts of the world there is a tragic trade in tiny puppies barely able to walk. On the Labrador site we frequently get comments from people who have purchased puppies as young as 21 days old. Their owners will usually need help from a qualified veterinary professional if the puppy is to survive and thrive.

Our forum policy is to encourage people to wait until their puppy is eight weeks old before collecting it from the breeder. To make sure we are not encouraging the trade in underage puppies, nor depriving these puppies of essential veterinary attention, we have the following rule.

If a forum member’s puppy has been removed from the breeder/ mother before the age of seven weeks, that member must wait until their puppy is seven weeks old before posting about him or her on the forum

We recommend that anyone with a puppy under this age contacts their vet without delay for instructions on feeding, general care, and medical treatment. We understand that members want to help these puppies, but the forum is not the right place to be distributing specialist advice of this nature.
