Should I be wary of a breeder on AKC Marketplace that is selling labrador puppies for sub $800?

Post pedigree inc health certs and titles or link to litter.

can you post breeder website?
I wouldn't exactly call it a red flag, considering Labradors aren't exactly uncommon. You should be able to gauge for yourself how legitimate they are based on their website. Would be a good idea to visit them beforehand, see the litter and where they stay, meet the parents, etc.
800 - 1200 is about what you should expect to pay, how "sub" are we talking?

They don't have their own personal site, only contact info on the AKC Marketplace. They say their "puppies in this litter are from AKC Registered parents and can also be registered with the AKC."

AKC registration does not mean jack fucking shit as far as being reputable goes. You can have a puppy mill with AKC puppies

AKC is pure garbage.
If you want a good dog, then go with a working line.

Yeah, that's odd. Most reputable breeders will have a website along with lineage info, etc. Just keep looking elsewhere, anon. I guarantee you can find a topnotch Lab breeder within a two hour drive no matter where you are.

This. Health certificates are required or keep looking. A reputable breeder will have the pedigree of bitch and sire all set to go with the pups. Do not buy a lab until you understand this. For 800 you can get well bred labs with a record. Not NFC lines, but a solid, healthy, trainable dog.
Are American-style Labs more healthy than the weird boxy English ones?
