What to ask a Golden Retriever breeder
Ask for both parents' results for OFA Hips, OFA Elbows, Cardiac OFA, Eye CERF, Ichthyosis (ICT-A). Results should be checkable by OFA or registry number, not a verbal assurance.
Breeder licensing in Louisiana
Louisiana requires a Kennel license, issued by the parish government, not by the state if you keep 5 or more breeding dogs (dogs that the holder breeds and sells retail, wholesale, or to the public).
No state issues a breed-specific breeder license, and a state license never replaces a USDA license or local zoning.
