What to ask a Labrador Retriever breeder
Ask for both parents' results for OFA Hips, OFA Elbows, EIC (Exercise Induced Collapse), CNM (Centronuclear Myopathy), PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy). Results should be checkable by OFA or registry number, not a verbal assurance.
Breeder licensing in California
California does not issue a state breeder license, but statutory duties attach if you 3 or more litters or 20 or more dogs (sold, transferred, or given away in the preceding 12 months) in a twelve-month period.
No state issues a breed-specific breeder license, and a state license never replaces a USDA license or local zoning.
