Labradors have been breed to retrieve. They make excellent working dogs and will work hard to please. They
are one of the easiest breeds to train and are used by guide dogs for the blind, police, the fire service and
people with hearing difficulty. Training any dog up to working standard does take time. Its more work than the
basic training needed for a pet but the results are well worth the effort. It helps to buy a puppy from working
parents with good working lines.
HIP SCORING
Hip Dysplasia is a genetic disease that affects the hip joints of dogs, Labradors are prone to this which makes
it very important to only buy puppies from breeders that have had both the mother and father hip scored. It is
also important to ask the actual score. The British veterinary association and the Kennel club recommend you
do not breed a Labrador with a total hip score of 16 or more.I would not, and would recommend that anybody
should buy a puppy from a breeder that either the mother, or the father has a total hip score of 16 or more.
There are thousands of Labradors born every year in the UK. The more people that refuse to buy from poor or
non tested stock the sooner we will start to rid our much loved dogs of this horrible and debilitating fate that can
be so easily screened.
BVA Eye testing
It is also important that both parents have been checked with the BVA via there eye testing scheme, again its just
simple tests that can make the world of difference to there offspring. They test for inherited eye disease's
specifically to the Labrador breed. All our Labradors have fully clear eye tests.
