Covenant Farm Puppies are a product of our unique breeding philosophy and our Christian worldview. Proverbs 12:10 says, "A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel". We treat all of our dogs and puppies as pets, as if we were keeping them for ourselves.

The puppies are whelped in our home, not in a kennel, and handled often by our nine children. The puppies are exposed to our other dogs virtually from birth, and to other farm animals at about 4-5 weeks. The females are kennelled only when they go into heat.

We work with a local veterinarian who checks all the pups before they are offered for sale. Each puppy, whether a purebred Lab or one of our loveable LabMutts, gets the same treatment and buyers are offered the same services.

Vet Certified

We work with a local veterinarian who gives our pups a complete examination at about 5-6 weeks. Included in the exam is a test for for hip soundness. We do not allow the pups to be released for sale until they are a full eight weeks old. Studies have shown that staying with their Mom the extra two weeks after they reach six weeks is important for both health and socialization. Your puppy is guaranteed to be healthy and up-to-date on shots and worming when you purchase one, regardless of it's age. You will receive a card detailing the shots and worming schedule, and the puppy's diet at time of sale.

Genetic Health Warranty

We guarantee our pups to be free of genetic defects up to one year from the whelping date. If your puppy is found to have any genetic defect, we will be happy to refund all of the purchase price of the puppy, including any delivery charges, upon the return of the pup. Any genetic defect claims must be accompanied by test results from a licensed veterinarian or animal hospital.

Also included is a guarantee that your puppy is healthy when you take delivery. You must have the puppy vet-checked within 7 days of taking delivery. If your puppy is found to be sick with any of the major canine diseases that are vaccinated for, your money will be refunded, and you may keep the puppy or bring it back, as you wish. We will not reimburse any veterinarian bills incurred by the treatment of the sickness.

AKC / CKC Registration

Many breeders charge an exhorbitant fee to buy a puppy that can be registered for breeding and whose offspring can be registered. We do not. Your registration can be used for breeding purposes if desired when you buy from us.We believe in delivering the most value possible for the considerable money you spend on a high-quality pet, and you should be able to take advantage of the fact that these dogs were AKC (American Kennel Club) or CKC (Continental Kennel Club) Registered, and be able to register their litters when they have them.
