LITTERS

Litters
Check out our Facebook page – Grove British Labs – for updated pictures of these litters as they happen.  We update pictures about every 1-2 weeks when we have litters to show puppy owners with deposits placed.

For those still considering putting down a puppy deposit, we do really try to use our website, FB Page and Google Business Page as a window into our kennel.  We show the puppies at all different stages of development.  We also encourage you to read customer reviews on the website and FB page.

We provide scheduled Open House or Puppy Socialization opportunities for you to visit our kennel when we have puppies which are old enough to be handled.  Most of these times are held during one of our Friday puppy selection days.    Or we will advertise, both on website and FB, a planned 1-2 hr visitation window over a weekend.  This would mainly be an opportunity to see older puppies.  In many cases, the parents likely have been returned to their co-ownership families at this stage.

In all cases, we do ask that you call the kennel at 952-484-0112 to schedule a specific time for your visit.  We want to avoid having too many people showing up at the same time.  Plus we want to be available to answer any questions you might have.

          • After these litters, we are into Fall (Oct/Nov) for takehomes.  Already taking deposits for fall litters.

 

Future schedule will be published as we know.  But if you are looking for fall, winter or spring puppies, now is the time to place deposits on those litters to reserve your spot in the selection process.  Typically our litters are sold out before they are born.
 

 

If you are interested in getting a puppy from Grove British Kennels, the best thing to do is get a deposit in early to get on the selection list.  Most of our litters are sold out in advance. 
You can move your deposit to later litters if the timing of a particular litter doesn’t work out, but our deposit is non-refundable unless we are not able to provide you a puppy in the specified 3-month window.  We can help you match a puppy to your specific needs.
 
If desired we can setup a time for you to visit our kennel in Inver Grove Heights.  However, for the puppies’ health, we prefer to do that only when the puppies are old enough for visitors, not when they are still nursing from their mother. 
Since we are within the metro area, we get tons of requests for visits – so we need to manage and coordinate those visits by taking into account our puppy schedule.  Kennel visits can be arranged when we have puppies we are able to show (typically 6 weeks old).  We advertise Open Houses on Facebook for when kennel visits are allowed, but we still ask that you schedule a time so that not everyone arrives at once.
 
We are a smaller breeder.  We find placement homes for most of our breeding dogs.  So as a result, for many of them they are only at our Inver Grove Heights kennel when they are being bred, or when they are whelping/nursing puppies.   The rest of the time they are with their placement home.  We do provide several pictures of each of our breeding dogs on the website Dams and Stud tabs.  We can answer any specific questions you might have about an individual dog.
A $300 deposit is required to reserve your picking order in the puppy selection process.  When sending in a deposit, please include all of your contact info (phone, email, and address) and also whether you are looking for a male or female puppy.  Also, let us know the earliest timeframe you would be ready to take a puppy home.
Puppies can be picked up at 7-8 weeks old.  We wait till 8 weeks for those customers who wish to have their puppy shipped to them.  Shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.  However, typically we prefer not to ship puppies, and have not done so for several years.
At Grove British Kennels, we will provide you with general health info, as well as info on training and nutrition.  Updated vaccination information, pedigrees, and puppy guarantees will also be provided.  Your puppy will have already had their dew claws removed, and received its first set of vaccinations and deworming.
We start the puppies on group crate and potty training at 4 weeks of age, to help make their transition to your home easier.  We spend a lot of time with the puppies after they are weaned from their mother – so you will be receiving a puppy that is very well socialized and ready to interact with people.
After you bring the new puppy home, we are still available for any questions you may have along the way.  We always enjoy receiving puppy pictures as they get older and hear stories of what the puppies are up to.
