Health Standards

Cleared before they're bred

X-rayed and graded before any first litter — labs deserve sound joints for a lifetime of fetch.

Annual cardiac and ophthalmologist exams for every breeding dog, every year.

Full panels screen for EIC, PRA, and 250+ conditions before a pairing is ever planned.
