☀️ The Sunshine Litter
We’re excited to welcome our beautiful Sunshine Litter—an all-yellow litter sired by an AKC Champion! These sweet Labrador puppies are ready to meet their potential families now and head to their fur-ever homes mid October.
Affectionally known as “Polar Bear Labs,” these puppies are exceptionally pale yellow with beautiful black noses and pigmentation. Our dilute-free genetics assure you avoid commonly associated health issues in Labs carrying the dilute gene, such as Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA). Puppies are raised in our home with individual attention, handling, and socialization and come with a Health Guarantee.
We’re looking forward to watching these little rays of sunshine grow and getting to know the wonderful families who will welcome them home! 💛🐾
Details about the Dam Martini and Sire Firefly/”Paul” are at the bottom of this page and can be verified on the AKC and OFA webpages!
What You Can Expect From a Lucky Yellow Labs Puppy
Every Lucky Yellow Labs puppy comes with more than a great start — they come with our commitment to their health, well-being, and future.
- 🐾 AKC Registration & Pedigree — Your puppy comes with AKC registration and pedigree documentation.
- 🐾 Limited AKC Registration — All puppies are placed with Limited AKC Registration and are required to be spayed or neutered according to our puppy contract.
- 🧬 Embark Genetic & Health Testing — Our breeding dogs receive comprehensive genetic and health screening through Embark to help us make responsible breeding decisions.
- 📋 Puppy Contract & Lifetime Genetic Health Guarantee — Every puppy is protected by our written contract and lifetime genetic health guarantee.
- 🐾 Early Health Exercises, Socialization & Home Training – From 0 to 3 weeks we provide daily handling in our home and ENS exercises that build neurological, cardiac, immune and adrenal resilience. Weeks 3 to 9 we focus on the “Rule of 7” to establish puppy socialization and the basics of home manners. Visit our blog for more details.
- 🩺 First Veterinary Visit — Puppies receive their first health examination, age-appropriate vaccinations, and deworming before going home, with veterinary records provided to their new family.
- 💛 Individualized Placement Suggestions – During the first 8 weeks, we spend 24/7 with our puppies. We know them very, very well. We evaluate them constantly. We also get to know every one of our clients very well – your preferences, family, lifestyle, hobbies and goals. We provide you with a variety of tools so you also get to know them. Puppy photo’s, video chat, access live webcams, video-chat or in person visits … We facilitate the best match possible for you on pick-up day.
- 🏡 Lifetime “No Questions Asked” Re-Homing Program — If you can no longer keep your Lucky Yellow Labs dog, we will always help. We never want one of our dogs to end up in a shelter.
- 🍀 Lifelong Breeder Support — Bringing your puppy home is just the beginning.
Step One: Puppy Application & Interview
We are happy to accept a Puppy Application via e-mail at katherine@mcclainsmeadows.org (that’s .ORG, not .com), on Good Dog, or verbally via a phone or Video chat appointment. To schedule, please text Katie at (541) 537-1210.
Step Two: Puppy Contract & Payment
The next step is our Contract! We want to make sure there aren’t any surprises and we both understand what’s expected.
We make every effort to keep our puppy prices as reasonable as possible while maintaining our commitment to responsible breeding and excellent care. We are proud to be part of the Good Dog network, where eligible families may have the option to pay over time through Klarna, subject to Klarna’s approval and terms.
Our prices are non-negotiable and non-refundable, except at the sole discretion of Lucky Yellow Labs and McClain’s Meadows.
Step Three: Meet & Greet
The day you’ve been waiting for is finally here! 💛
Puppy pick-up day is more than simply taking your new Labrador home — it’s the beginning of a very special relationship. We love making this day memorable by welcoming each family personally and giving everyone an opportunity to meet, connect, and celebrate.
Our Puppy Pick-Up Day Meet & Greet is a chance to meet your puppy, ask those last-minute questions, go over important puppy information, and spend a little time together before you begin your journey home.
We’ll make sure you leave with your puppy, your puppy’s records and paperwork, and the information you need to get your new family member off to a wonderful start.
We can’t wait to meet you and introduce you to your new best friend!
🐾 A Little Chaos, A Lot of Love
Keep in mind — families are a bit messy! Things don’t always happen in a perfectly predictable order, and not every litter, puppy, or family journey will look exactly the same.
There may be unexpected surprises, changes in timing, or moments when we need to adjust our plans. That’s simply part of raising puppies and caring for our dogs. We believe in being honest about that rather than promising that everything will always go exactly according to plan.
What never changes is our dedication to quality, health, responsible breeding, and the well-being of every puppy we raise. We take the time to do things thoughtfully and correctly, even when that means being patient or changing course along the way.
After all, raising puppies isn’t a production line — it’s raising a family. And just like any family, every member is unique, every journey is a little different, and sometimes the best things happen when the plan changes.
Our Dam: “Martini”
AKC # SS20493701
Sir Ranger’s Lady Martini of McClain’s Meadows
Certified by the Orthopedic Foundation of Animals (OFA) and CHIC Certification. The CHIC Program recognizes dogs at the pinnacle of health that make their results publicly available in the OFA database. Martini is a calm, sweet lady who just celebrated her 5th year. Her favorite past times are snuggling, stealing her mom’s pillow, asking for (more) treats, going for long walks in the woods and the beach. She also enjoys making an occasional break for the pond.
CHAMPION SIRE: Firefly “Paul”
AKC # SS09127601
Firefly Way Close to Me
Paul is a very special pup with unique parentage from the Ukraine and Romania. It is rare for an International Vice Champion to be verified by the European Union Canine Association and make it thought the AKC’s vetting process to receive an AKC Verified Pedigree. We are SO very excited to have such a fresh, high quality infusion of genetic diversity into the Lucky Yellow Labs family. We can’t wait to meet Martini and Paul’s puppies!
