Most pet shops and people selling pups out of the news paper would like you to believe that if a puppy is registered by the American Kennel Club,or the United Kennel Club, this guarantees the puppy will be healthy and a good example of the breed. This is not so. The only thing that AKC and UKC papers certify is that the puppy is a purebred and produced out of AKC or UKC registered parents. Even this can be fiction, as some producers register more puppies than are actually born in each litter to receive extra registration slips to pass out with unregisterable puppies. The parents of your puppy may be unhealthy or carriers of crippling or deadly health defects which they may have passed to their offspring- your puppy. They may also be horrible representations of the breed that you are buying. Often times the parentage of pet store puppies is also questionable due to poor record keeping. In other words, your puppy may not even be a purebred,
Responsible breeders do register their puppies with the AKC, and UKC but that is only the beginning they do health testing, guaranteeing their puppies health, they spend many hours working with the pups and their new family's. The reputable breeder will be there for you long after you take your new puppy home and will help with questions and training.

Before you buy a Labrador puppy
I believe strongly in versatility of the breed and as such, our Labradors compete in multiple venues including conformation, obedience, rally and hunt tests. In addition, health and soundness are a priority so all breeding dogs have a family history of certification through the OFA to have clear Hips, Elbows and Eyes. We also do PRA testing. Prcd-PRA is inherited as a recessive trait. This means a disease gene must be inherited from each parent in order to cause disease in an offspring, so at least one parent will always be tested from our litter to be clear.
