Microchip implant and lifetime activation, plus the AKC registration, will be done by us for the additional charge of $160, as we will register the pup for you. This is not optional, as we want all our pups registered and microchipped.

If you’re unable to pick your pup up we can consider safely shipping your pup for roughly $450 – this will have to be discussed.

Deposits via Pay Pal –
We encourage you to contact us to confirm the total purchase price for your pup before making a deposit.

Although our primary goal at Bell’s Labradors is to breed dogs with exceptional hunting abilities, it is important to note the marriage between field ability and companionship. Your Pointing Labrador will have high intelligence and a need to please. You will love it as you would a close family member.
Hunting dogs are athletes and are sometimes much leaner than pet dogs of the same breeds. A Labrador being worked hard during a hunting trip will require 2,000 to 5,000 calories per day! Experts in hunting dog nutrition recommend feeding dogs a diet that has at least 25% protein and around 20% crude fat. Many big-box stores do not sell dog food that will keep your Labrador at peak performance and health.
There are a small handful of high quality brands for your Labrador. We recommend Nutri Source dog food.
It is necessary for the pups to have had their vaccinations and be 8 weeks old. We have expectations that you will pick up your pup at the first viewing. Making accommodations to view the pups earlier is difficult for us. An earliest pickup date for each litter will be announced. Unfortunately no exceptions can be made to claim your pup early.
*Edit* Many customers have requested to view pups via FaceTime. We’d love to schedule a FaceTime viewing with you if our schedules align!
Being the first to place a deposit of $300 guarantees you the pick of the litter, and each choice thereafter is also determined by the order in which deposits are received. Please make sure to specify a gender preference.
Deposits are not refundable, but after making a deposit, you are welcome to select a pup from any future litter. In the rare case that you are not satisfied with your pup, we can replace it with a pup from the same litter or a future litter after the pup is returned.
We snap complete litter photos immediately after birth and more group photos in the weeks thereafter. Please check back for more litter photos.
The best individual puppy photos are taken after the first month. We look forward to individually introducing pups to you and the world through photos after week 4.
As a rule of thumb, time is generally best spent searching for and selecting the very best Labrador litter, then deciding the gender of puppy that you’d like. Please rest assured that you are making a fine decision when selecting one of our pups.

Our 2020 and 2021 Litter Location
We secure breed integrity via cooperation with partners from the Midwest USA and Canada, which often requires traveling. During gestation and whelping, we bring our Labrador mothers back to our favorite whelping area in Sparks, Nevada to the caring hands of our experienced and enthusiastic family.
