Turning Point Labradors is a small-scale breeder producing between 2-3 litters per year.  Puppies are available to approved pet homes and breeder/show homes.  No puppies are released during the holiday season.

If you are interested in purchasing a puppy, please contact us via phone or e-mail.  Litters are often sold out well in advance of the actual whelping, so please plan accordingly.
