Affordable Pricing for Your Labrador Needs

Pricing: Quality You Can Trust!

At Jay Family Labs, we believe you truly get what you pay for. To secure your spot for one of our puppies, we require a $300 non-refundable deposit. This deposit is your commitment to bringing a Jay Family Lab puppy into your home. Please note, this deposit is non-refundable unless otherwise agreed upon. We do not refund deposits if you decide to choose a puppy elsewhere.

We only accept deposits after the puppies are born, which gives you the assurance that your chosen puppy will likely be available before you place your deposit. Our puppies are priced between $1200 and $1500, depending on the pairing. Please contact us directly for specific pricing details for each litter. The remaining balance is due at the time of pickup, which is when the puppies are 8 weeks old.

Why Do Our Puppies Cost What They Do?

We often hear from people looking for a puppy in the $300–$500 range because they just want “a pet.” We understand that our prices may not be for everyone, but our focus is on breeding high-quality English Labradors, and we invest a lot of time, energy, and resources into our dogs. There is a vast difference between a $500 dog and one that comes from a reputable breeder who has invested in the health and quality of the animal.

The True Cost of a Puppy

A $500 dog often comes from a backyard breeder who does little to no health testing and offers minimal care. These breeders typically sell their puppies to anyone with cash in hand, with little regard for the long-term health and wellbeing of the dog. Unfortunately, these are the dogs that frequently end up in shelters or worse.

At Jay Family Labs, we do things differently. We are committed to ethical breeding practices and invest heavily in the health and future of our dogs. We use the Embark DNA testing panel, which screens for 168 genetic diseases in Labradors, including:

• Exercise-Induced Collapse (EIC)
• Degenerative Myelopathy
• Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)
• Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis
• Hip and Elbow Dysplasia (OFA-certified evaluations)

This extensive testing helps ensure that our dogs are free from many of the common genetic conditions that can plague Labradors. These diseases can result in thousands of dollars in unexpected veterinary bills and, even more tragically, heartbreak. We have seen families who purchased a cheaper dog only to lose their beloved companion far too soon. Our commitment to health testing helps to prevent such tragedies.

What Goes Into Breeding a Healthy Labrador

The process of breeding a healthy, quality Labrador begins months before the puppies are even conceived. We invest time in researching pedigrees to find the best match for our dogs. Health clearances alone can cost thousands, and then there are stud fees, breeding fees, and the many expenses that come with providing top-notch care.

Not every breeding goes as planned— C-Sections can cost $1500–$4000 if a C-section is required. This is just one example of the unexpected costs that a responsible breeder prepares for.

At Jay Family Labs, we take great pride in our commitment to the health and happiness of our dogs. We feed them top-quality food, which costs us around $60–$70 per bag, and we spend hundreds of dollars each week on cleaning supplies, toys, veterinary care, and more. Our puppies get the absolute best start in life.
