What about purchasing? I go to kijiji and see the following:

How do I know that this isn't a breeder (in the bad way) versus a breeder (in the good way). Or perhaps it's someone shilling for the bad one?

Also, if I decide to get one of those, is it bad form for me to ask to take the puppy to my own vet?

Thanks for any advice,

Do not buy a puppy from Kijiji. There are plenty of lab rescues in need of a home. Petfinder.com links a bunch of the rescue organizations and you can put in any specific criteria you want from age, color or good with cats. I did a search for Labs in the Calgary area:
