Converse Premium Labs seeks to provide our CPL families with checks and services that most other breeders do not provide. The following is a list of information about what you can expect to get when you purchase your next puppy from Converse Premium Labs.
Converse Premium Labs normally has 3 to 5 litters a year. Depending on the year, time of the year, we may have more or less. Females who live together often cycle together, so it is not uncommon for us to have more than one litter on ground at a time, or one shortly after another.

From Rick regarding their puppy Lily who is from Shelby and Tobi's Spring 2025 Litter...
"Lucy and Lily are getting along great Lily sits , lies down walks on a leash in the yard and comes on command a very quick learner. She still occasionally has accidents in the house but that can be expected. She plays rough with not only Lucy but us also. All in all we couldn’t be happier with her. I left out one of the most important facts she has slept 8+ hrs every night since we brought her home."
