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.

No state issues a breed-specific breeder license, and a state license never replaces a USDA license or local zoning.
