    Hello!
    My beautiful lab died in November. I am looking for another boy and have seen a litter that currently is only 3 weeks old.. Able to view in April. My question to ask you all is the answer to the question I asked re hip and elbow scores.. The reply was:
    They are KC registered
    We own both sire and dam.
    They come from competition lines.
    They're are NO scores as "they are only applicable to the day they are scored therefore we consider them irrelevant"
    Do I run for the hills?!
    Thank you..

    Yes....indeed run for the hills. Also, I don’t know where you live but now might not be the best time to get a puppy . So many restrictions mean even getting to view your puppy might not be possible and socialisation opportunities pretty limited.

    Yes Run as fast you can. Only buy from health tested parents.
    Eye hip elbow are the minimum tests you need most reputable breeders do these tests and many more. Please please don't buy pups from untested parents .
