    I have a English Block head Chocolate Lab and he is on Thyro tabs, can he still Impregnate a female and if so will he pass it on to the Pups?

    I am guessing he is on thyroxine for hypothyroidism? If that’s the case it can be genetic so breeding not advised. Best to talk to your vet who prescribed for you

    Dog with AI hypothyroism should not be bred.

    There is a genetic component to thyroidism so no, he should not be bred.
