Who made this site?
A Labrador Retriever enthusiast and breeder. I haven't been breeding Labs for that long, but I've learned a lot, much of which I wish I knew before I bought my first Labs. My first two Labs were not from fully health tested parents and we (my husband and I) ended up with one who has bilateral hip dysplasia and another with various preventable problems. This made me learn about health issues in the breed. I would like to prevent others from having to learn things the hard way--- when their beloved pet begins having problems that could have been prevented by responsible breeding of health tested parents.
I thought it would be nice to create a site to help people understand Labrador health clearances and how to better select a breeder and puppy. This site is not all inclusive, but gives a nice start to learning the health of the breed. I hope this is helpful information for anyone looking for a Labrador Retriever puppy or hoping to begin breeding.
