Limited Registration

ALONE AGAIN



I wish someone would tell me what it is that I've done wrong,

Why I have to stay chained up and left alone so long. 

They seemed so glad to have me when I came here as a pup, 

There were so many things we'd do while I was growing up. 

They couldn't wait to train me as a companion and friend, 

And told me how they'd never fear being left alone again. 

The children said they'd feed me and brush me every day, 

They'd play with me and walk me if I could only stay. 

But now the family "hasn't time" they often say I shed, 

They do not want me in the house not even to be fed. 

The children never walk me they always say "not now!"

I wish that I could please them won't someone tell me how? 

All I had, you see, was love I wish they would explain, 

Why they said they wanted me, then left me on a chain.

The following is information about our puppies and guidelines
for proper health, care and nutrition.
Correct nutrition early in a dog’s life is essential to the prevention of osteoarthritis. Owners should ensure that their puppy does not eat too much and grow too much early in life. High energy foods (those with high fat content) and calcium supplementation should be avoided.

Owners should be careful not to over-exercise their puppies early on in life. By taking preventative measures early on in your dog’s life, owners can reduce the incidence of degenerative disease later on in life.


Emelson Labradors Puppy Vaccination Schedule

Your puppy will have its first set of 5 way combination vaccination consisting of: 
Distemper , Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Coronavirus
Age: 6 weeks  / 10 weeks / 14 weeks

Types of Vaccines
Age                                CORE                                                                                      NON-CORE*

Yearly Adult booster: While annual boosters are still sometimes given, many vets now recommend only re-vaccinating every three years. Consult your veterinarian.
*Recommendation of non-core vaccines depends on your geographical location and your puppy's environment. Talk to your vet about your puppy's potential exposure.


Why so many vaccinations?   Good question! The reason is that no one can be sure that the pup will actually mount a good antibody response to the disease just from one vaccination.   The age of the pup and just how much immunity it has received from its mother will complicate the "probability of protection".  So... if the pup has lots of immunity (called PASSIVE IMMUNITY) that was borrowed from the mother during early nursing, this immunity will actually interfere with the pup's ability to make its own immunity from the vaccine challenge.  The idea is to get the vaccine into the pup just as soon as the mother's passive immunity wears off (NOW the pup is very susceptible to sickness if it is exposed to the disease!) so that the pup can make more lasting immunity of its own.  The precise time when a pup can respond well to a vaccine is variable... it might occur at 6 weeks of age or might be 12 weeks.  So to be as safe as possible, why not start vaccinating at 6 weeks and end at 16 weeks?   Almost 99 per cent of puppies will develop a good immune level to the various disease from a vaccine schedule similar to the one above.

Our vet will not vaccinate before 6 weeks of age and does highly suggest 3 to 4 weeks
in-between each vaccination. Consult your vet for their recommendation.

Our vaccinations are done by a professional veterinarian, checking the health and temperature of each puppy to insure proper immunization.

excellent proven temperaments and health



We breed a blend of the two lab types English and American. We find this blending produces a wonderful family companion. It takes the hyper out of the american and the lazy, overweight tendencies out of the English. Females come into heat twice a year and we only breed once a year to ensure our females and the pups they produce are healthy. No matter which breeder you use always ask when the mom had her last litter.


Pure Bred Grey Labrador Retrievers
By on Jan 23, 2010 in Grey labradors


purebred grey labrador
Labrador Retrievers are the most popular breed of dog in Canada, America and the United Kingdom. Their friendly personality, high intelligence, and great looks make the Labrador Retriever an ideal pet. It is also their high intelligence which makes Labradors a good choice for assistance dogs, which are most often used for people with visual difficulties.

Grey Labrador Retrievers are rapidly increasing in popularity with the average dog owner. Their dark color, with a silver coat is definitely pleasing to the eye; to the experts however, there has been some contention.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) had to step into a growing controversy between breeders. Some thought that silver, or pure bred Grey Labrador Retrievers were genetic anomalies; others thought that they should be given their own classification as an official Labrador breed.

Since pure bred grey Labrador Retrievers can be bred together to create an all grey litter, it was undeniable that the pure lineage of Grey Labrador retrievers was intact. The AKC acknowledged this, but decided that all Grey Labrador Receivers must be classified as ‘Chocolate’ when registered.

Despite the official ruling, there is no doubt that pure bred Grey Labrador Retrievers have a definite silver coloration, and gives your dog a very unique look. The distinctive Labrador look combined with the soft grey coat is a great combination.

The pure bred Grey Labrador Retriever has the same friendly personality that made the dog such a successful breed with dog owners across the globe. As with many large dogs, the Grey Labrador Receiver is a very loving dog which will look after you just as well as you look after it.

When you look at pure bred Grey Las,you will normally find two distinct skin colorations, which affect the overall look of the dog. Some have a deep chocolate color; this gives the dog its deep dark brown hue under the fine silver hair. Others often have a very dark black toned skin, which can often appear to have a bluish tint. This variation is much rarer, but often preferred by Grey Labrador fans.

As with all Labradors, the pure Grey Lab is a highly active dog, it loves to play games, and will chase, swim, play catch, and more for hours. For the dog owner who wants more though, the intelligence of the retriever means that you can train your dog for a wide variety of purposes. Labradors are the dog of choice for assistance dogs, police search dogs and other working dogs. The pure bred Grey Labrador is no exception to the breed, and can be taught to complete a variety of tasks. This is great for any owner wanting to enter their dog in to competitions, or have them help in various jobs.

Labradors are well known for their gentle nature and well balanced temperament. They are not territorial, and rarely suffer from aggressive or destructive tendencies, making them an ideal family pet.

Our puppies range in price from $650.00 to $1000.00 plus GST depending on the litter / breeding pair.
Is a Lab for You?

Based on the number of AKC / CKC registrations, Labrador Retrievers are by far the most popular breed of dog. In fact, there are more than twice as many registered Labs as there are of any other breed. But, they are not for everyone, and there are a few things you should carefully consider in deciding if a Lab is for you.

Labs are known for their trainability and intelligence. Through years of use they have become the #1choice as guide dogs, used as therapy and assist dogs, for search and rescue, drug detection, and bomb sniffing. However, an untrained Lab can be "too smart for his own good," finding mischievous ways to get in trouble. If you aren't willing to expend at least a little effort to train your dog, a Lab is not for you. If, however, you are prepared to spend some time teaching your Lab manners, you will find a willing student who will follow your leadership.

Labs are very social dogs, typically loving almost everyone and other dogs, too. They love to be with "their people" almost all the time, and will want to go with you everywhere. This means they are often underfoot, leaning on the door you want to open, or leaning on you. They run to the door when you reach for the car or boat keys and bound with glee at the thought of going anywhere with "their people." If you find this type of behavior annoying and /or don't have the time, means, or inclination to have a dog with you a lot of the time, then a Lab is not for you. But, if you are looking for a best friend who would love to jog, hike, or fish with you, a Lab may be a good choice.

Labs are usually happy in nature and those tails for which they are known swipe shelves, clear coffee tables, topple toddlers, and whatever else is at their level as they wag with great gusto. The Lab coat is made to keep the dog warm in icy water, thus it is a very thick, double layered coat which sheds somewhat regularly and is "blown" twice a year. If loose dog hair or a perpetual wagging tail bothers you, then a Lab is not for you. Those who find a wagging tail an irresistible "welcome home" after a long day will adore a Lab.

Labs love water. Pure joy can be found galloping repeatedly through a mud puddle, splashing into the mud, then lying in it; diving for toys dropped in the water bowl; biting the spray as you attempt to wash the car or water the garden; and even surprising you mid-shower. If frequent rinsing and towel drying a dog, floor and wall, or any of those other dog activities don't amuse you [at least some of the time] then a Lab is not for you. Labs are for those people who can put up with a soak to see the sheer joy of an animal fully enjoying every drop of life. Labs are excellent retrievers of anything and like most retrievers, are very "mouthy". They love to hold and carry things - It may be your hand, sleeve, your shoe, your unread newspaper, or preferably a toy. Labs have a high demand for toys. They don't need to be fancy or expensive, but if you don't supply a number of dog safe toys you can be sure your Lab will "find" his own - which are often potentially dangerous. If you prefer a dog to be seen rather than interact, then a Lab is not for you. But, if you want a dog you can train to go get your newspaper on chilly mornings (and are willing to put up with a slobbery paper for it), your Lab will relish the job!

Mostly, Labs just want to be a part of your family. If you are not interested in making time to be outdoors walking and playing with your dog every day, and for all the other responsibilities of owning a large, active dog, then a Lab is not for you. But, if you want a happy, affectionate, fun loving pal who wants to do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it, who just loves being with you, you need look no further than a Lab. Every moment you spend with your Lab will be repaid with boundless love (not to mention a few doggy kisses).
