Join Our Growing YFL Family

Our family's reputation is built one puppy at a time, and as demand grows, so does the waiting list for our puppies. If you're ready to take the first step toward welcoming a Yates Family Labrador into your home, here's how the process works:

1. Start Exploring: Begin by visiting our website, Facebook page, and reading our reviews to learn more about our family and breeding program.
2. Submit Your Questionnaire: Complete the "Puppy Waiting List Request Information Questionnaire" (link below). Once submitted, Mark Jr. will reach out via text to schedule a phone call.
3. The Phone Call: During the call, Mark Jr. will share details about our family, our dogs, and our puppies, while answering any questions you may have.
4. Deposit and Agreement: If you choose us as your breeder, a $200 deposit secures your spot on our priority waitlist. A DocuSign receipt will confirm our mutual commitment to working together.
5. Litter Notification: When we have a litter with the color, gender, and timeframe you're seeking, we will notify you. If the schedule aligns with your needs, you’ll make a second $300 deposit to secure your position in the selection order for choosing your perfect puppy.
6. Flexible Deposits: Our deposits are non-refundable, but they are very flexible. If you decide to switch color, gender, or timeframe, no problem! We’re a family too and understand that plans can change. We’ll hold or move your deposit for as long as needed.
7. Family Day at Six Weeks: When the puppies are six weeks old, you’ll be invited to our Family Day event. This is an opportunity to meet the other families, participate in a larger Q&A session, and hear about your puppy’s progress.
8. Picking and Pick-Up Day: Puppies aren’t selected until they are eight weeks old to allow for continued growth and development. You’ll be amazed at how much they change between Family Day and Pick-Up Day! Selection order is determined by the order in which deposits were collected. If you opt for our Puppy Kindergarten training program, your puppy will stay with us for an additional 2–3 weeks for personalized training.
9. Stay Connected: Call us, text us, or join our private YFL Owners Facebook group! We love staying in touch with our families and sharing in your Labrador journey.
