ABOUT BLOSSOM VALLEY RANCH:
I have almost 12 acres in east county San Diego, California, near Lake Jennings County Park in an area called Blossom Valley. I have a tiny view of the lake from my back deck and a beautiful view of the valley from the front (see photos at the bottom of this page). I have miniature horses, Labrador Retrievers, Parson Jack Russell Terriers, pygmy goats, and one cat. I believe in doing health and genetic testing of dogs to try to eliminate or minimize genetic health defects in the breed. DeeDee (retired), Ty (retired), Sandy (retired), and Franky are certified by the Canine Health Information Center, which requires the following tests:
I breed to provide wonderfully temperamented puppies to qualified pet homes. Pups going to pet homes must be either spayed or neutered, unless otherwise agreed to by the new owners and me in our contract, and the puppies' registrations with the AKC will be "Limited." No pups produced by a dog with Limited Registration can be registered with the AKC, in order to prevent uncontrolled breeding of dogs by people who do not adhere to appropriate breeding practices. I can have the AKC change Limited Registration to Full Registration after the dog is mature, if it turns out to be a good representative of the breed, has CHIC testing done, and Optigen DNA testing.
The prices for my puppies are $1,000, which includes a microchip, 3 shots, 2 de-wormings, and test for prcd-PRA. Puppies can leave home at least 13 weeks of age to allow time for testing and shot sequence. If you want to get a Lab puppy from me, complete a Puppy Placement Application and return it to me by email at bvranch@cox.net or call me at 619-302-3460.
