Puppies
By utilising some of the available health testing schemes I have hopefully given puppies I breed a good start.
However, my puppies do not come with any guarantee as they are living, breathing, growing creatures and not the finished article like for example, a television or a washing machine.
Their environment, feeding, exercise and upbringing after they have left the litter all play their part in life as well as their genes.

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?
The Kennel Club has useful guidelines for these here ~ Getting A Dog or Puppy
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

The KC Assured Breeder Scheme requires Hip Scoring and Eye testing.
Elbow Scoring and DNA testing for PRA are only "recommended."
I fullfil, and go beyond, all the requirements of a KC Assured Breeder (and passed an inspection in January 2014).
However I left the scheme when I questioned why, being an assured breeder,
still means being able to register puppies from very high scoring parents and why was it not a requirement to score elbows?
What sort of assurance is that?
