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 Connecticut
Connecticut requires a Kennel license, issued by the town clerk where the kennel is located, not by the state if you sell more than 5 litters 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.
