Our Questionnaire
All of our puppies/young adults are sold as a companion pet first and foremost and is to be loved, cared for, and treated as a valued member of the family. As breeders, we feel an obligation to our puppies/young adults, to you as a potential buyer, and to our breeding program in general - to do everything possible to place the right puppy (or older dog) in the best home!
Our questionnaire and getting to know you beforehand, will help us to match the best puppy to you! We consider every detail of your questionnaire — including your lifestyle, plans for your puppy, and any preferences for color or gender. Because we know our puppies best, we do not allow buyers to select their own puppy. Thank you for your understanding and for trusting us to find the perfect match for your home!

Volhard/Potential Service Prospect Evaluation - Beginning in 2025, we began having our entire litters evaluated at 7 weeks of age by Marie Melton of GSC Training & Transport. Marie is certified and brings over 15 years of experience working with service and therapy dogs and uses the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test to assess each puppy’s temperament, confidence, social drive, and suitability for various working or companion roles. Prior to 2025, we had individual puppies and select litters evaluated, but this expanded approach ensures a consistent and comprehensive assessment of every puppy in each litter.
Registering with AKC - We register the whole litter a couple of weeks after they are born. Then once all the puppies have gone to their new families, we register each individual puppy with their new family's info.
Go Home Items
- A Folder that has their deworming & vaccination schedule, their microchip # and registration info, their official AKC litter pedigree, a copy of their vet health certificate (we do a well-puppy-check right before puppies leave for their new homes)
- 30 days of AKC pet health insurance (this is part of registration that comes from AKC, not us)
- A Goody Bag - See our recommended products for these items - a small bag of dog food they are used to eating, toys, appropriate chew items (i.e. hooves, bully sticks, cow ears, natural rawhides, etc.), treats they have been used to eating (usually a biscuit type and several soft chewy types), a slip lead, poop bags, and in 2025 we started doing Nature's Farmacy puppy base kit - includes 2 oz Daily Balance (Liver & Egg), 3 oz Ultimate (Vitamins, Minerals, Omegas - for skin and coat support), 15 g tube Probiotic Paste (for upset stomachs & diarrhea), Shopping Bag, Diet Card, Reading Materials for Products, and Catalog
Responsible Breeding
We breed to advance our program - not just for producing puppies. Health clearances on parents are obtained beforehand, and we exclusively breed in accordance with AKC/LRC/NBC standards. Westlane Labradors' entire program is dilute-free! We breed a limited number of quality Labrador litters per year, and we only breed AKC-recognized colors of black, yellow, and chocolate. We breed to the standards upheld by the Labrador Retriever Club.
To help promote responsible breeding, all Westlane Labrador and Beagle companion puppies are sold on a Limited Registration. Limited Registration means that the dog is eligible for registration with the American Kennel Club, however, any offspring produced by the dog would not be eligible to be registered with the AKC. This does not mean that the dog is of lesser quality. It just means that they are ineligible to enter conformation shows or produce registered offspring. They are eligible to enter other AKC events such as hunt tests, agility, rally, and obedience trials. All puppies that are purchased from Westlane are purchased as companion dogs; therefore, limited registration will have no bearing on these dogs and their owners.
