HEALTH TESTING
Hip and Elbow Scoring
As a minimum, both prospective parents of a litter should have been hip and elbow scored and ideally the results are low and even for hips (the median for Labradors is 9) and a 0 score for elbows.
Eye Tests
Both parents of a litter need a clear eye certificate dated within the previous year of the date of their mating. This is a clinical test to check for eye diseases in Labradors.
DNA Tests
By using DNA tests, affected puppies for the following diseases can be avoided: PRA-prcd, EIC, CNM, SD2, HNPK, MCD and STGD. Carriers should be kept in the gene pool to maintain genetic diversity; they can be mated to a clear and should not produce an affected puppy.

As well as looking for good health results in the prospective parents of a litter, they should also have an agreeable temperament.
To quote the breed standard "Good tempered." "Kindly nature" "No trace of aggression or undue shyness."
For me, the hallmark of a Labrador is it's easy going nature to both man and beast, friendly (without being too excitable) and not easily upset or worried.

The contacts for the Labrador Breed Clubs listed below may hold a list of available puppies from club members who should be adhering to the club's code of conduct and should therefore be breeding responsibly.
