​Breeding Plan and Waiting List​​

Thank you for your interest in welcoming a Zarate Labrador puppy into your home! We appreciate your enthusiasm and commitment to our beloved breed. As you may know, the arrival of new litters is ultimately in the hands of Mother Nature, and while we do our best to plan, we cannot guarantee specific outcomes. The journey to bringing a new puppy home can require some patience. We understand that predicting litter sizes and specific arrival dates can be tricky. Despite our diligent monitoring through ultrasounds and other methods, there are instances where not all puppies are visible or unforeseen complications may arise during whelping. That said, families on our waiting list are drawn to our puppies not just for their numbers, but for the exceptional quality and loving temperament of our Labs.

​​Waiting List Information

Important Considerations about our waiting list; while we strive to provide the best estimate for when a puppy may be available, numerous factors can affect this timeline, including the success of breeding and the overall size of the litter. Please understand our breeding pairings are subject to change without notice, and we will do our best to communicate any updates promptly. Thank you!​

​  ** What to Expect: **

1. Confirmation of Pregnancy: Once we confirm a pregnancy, we will reach out to everyone on our waiting list. To stay updated, please regularly check our website and follow us on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

2. Deposit Commitment: After notification of a confirmed pregnancy, you will have one week to decide if you would like to place the deposit to secure your spot for that specific litter.

3. Establishing the Reservation List: After the one-week period, we will finalize the reservation list for that specific litter based on the order in which deposits were received.

4. Color/Gender Preferences: If the specific color or gender you desire is not available when the puppies are born, your original deposit date will remain intact, and you will be placed back on the waiting list for future litters.

5. Litter Updates: Once the puppies arrive, we will send out an update detailing the number of puppies, their colors, and genders. Again, we encourage you to stay connected through our website and social media for the latest information.

6. Transfer of Deposits: If you decide not to move forward with a puppy from the current litter, you may choose to transfer your deposit to a future litter. Please note that this may result in your position on the waiting list changing to the bottom, as previous deposits typically take priority.
