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 Massachusetts
Massachusetts requires a kennel license, issued by the city or town clerk, for a pack or collection of dogs on a single premise, including a commercial breeder kennel. Municipalities set the numeric threshold.
No state issues a breed-specific breeder license, and a state license never replaces a USDA license or local zoning.
