WELCOME TO MOONLIGHTER LABRADORS!!!
Welcome to Moonlighter Labradors! Since 1991 we have been breeding, raising, & selling high-quality Labrador Retrievers with NO CLAIMS to date for our 3 year Health Warranty.. We have "raised the bar" so high for Labrador excellence and genetic superiority, we see no other Labrador Retriever breeders providing the quality we now consider standard. We've sold Lab pups to young families in the 1990's. Now the children from these families are beginning their own families. We receive telephone calls "Are you still raising Labrador Retriever puppies? We also have many customers now returning for their 3rd, 4th or even 5th lab puppy from us! At Moonlighter Labradors, we try to bring you the best genetics & bloodlines possible. We look throughout the United States for Dogs with Hunt Test or Field Trial backgrounds. We want no “cross-breeding or line breeding".This creates unnecessary genetically-related health problems & eventually additional DVM expenses for you. We screen all our adults for any genetically-passed health issues by DNA registrations,OFA-Hips, PENN-Hips, OFA-Elbows, CERF-Eye clearances, Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC) and Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM). We check all breeding adults as well all past generations. We DO NOT breed any adults unless we have negative findings for EIC, CNM, hip & elbow dysplatia among others. We find good homes for any adults found defective on any of the above, & DO NOT BREED them. Most people think "I'll pay $200-$400 for a cheap Lab puppy & still get a good dog".You're buying from"backyard breeder"-someone who doesn't do any DVM health screenings on their breeding adults for hips, eyes, elbows-but they charge you the same dollars. Several months or years later, this "cheap Labrador" is now costing you thousands of dollars for DVM expenses due to poor genetics. If you buy from us, the initial cost is higher-but YOU WON'T have 12-15 years of unnecessary DVM bills. Here you buy GREAT HEALTH & a GREAT PUP! In the Summer 2006, we had someone buy a lab puppy (not from us!) for~$400. In 6 months, the dog had hip dysplatia. There is a surgical procedure to correct but starts at ~$2000 per hip. That's no guarantee. We get many DVM referrals-someone put their dog down because of early genetic health problems at 4-5 yo, auto crashes, or just old age.. They ask DVM's "where can I find a pup with great genetics so I can enjoy them for their full life?"...Moonlighter Labrador's is then called.
All our adults are the "English Background"- big, blocky heads, big chests, slender waists, & otter tail. All pups are raised in a home environment & well-socialized from birth. As they age, they are introduced to game birds scents, gunfire, & water retrieving as we operate a Wisconsin DNR Game Farm. All this-Great Genetics, FC/AFC bloodlines, DVM Genetic Screenings & Certifications, Training, & Socialization produces a puppy great for hunting and most import ly, and excellent addition to your family.

PUPPY VISITS - We've a new policy for visiting puppies. The situation was my fault for not realizing it at the time. In 2009, we allowed people to visit before any pups were weaned from mom at 3-4 weeks. One person accidentally dropped a pup. It later died. Later that day we allowed people to handle 2 black pups. Because our scent was not on the pups, one mom KILLED her 2 puppies. Our DVM's now RECOMMENDS no puppy visits until weaned completely away from Mom's at ~3-4 weeks. Sorry, that's our new policy. NO VISITS ANY PUPS UNTIL WEANED AWAY FROM THEIR MOMS !!!
