Puppies
No litters are planned at the moment.
Puppies are reared in our home, with access to supervised play in the garden and visitors are encouraged.
All my girls are tested under the British Veterinary Association/Kennel Club health schemes for hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and hereditary eye diseases. They are also DNA tested for prcd-PRA, HNPK, EIC or CNM to try and avoid producing an affected puppy for these diseases. However, it is not possible to guarantee a healthy puppy because nature can spring up a surprise, but at least by utilising the tests the odds are stacked in their favour.
The Kennel Club registration of my puppies is endorsed with "progeny not elegible for registration." That means the KC will not register any puppies out of those that I have sold. I can remove this endorsement provided the puppy I sold has had it's hips and elbows scored, eyes tested (these three tests are done over the age of 1 year) and also any necessary DNA tests done and that the results of those tests are acceptable.
This is exactly what I do on any prospective parent that I keep.
There are lots of things to consider when looking to bring a Labrador into your home -
Are you ready for a dog?
How do you find the right dog and breeder?
There are lots of links to help on the KC WEBSITE
Please also look at the excellent advice given on the Northumberland and Durham LRC website
Champdogs is a website that lists breeders who health test
