    Hi all, new to this site and have just sent my first post on the Labrador puppies forum but just realised that it may be more appropriate on this one. So am posting it again. I do apologise but getting a little nervous as this is potentially going to be our first family dog and want to try and get things right especially with all the bad press about the puppy farming lately. And going to view in a couple of hours so some much needed insight would be great!! Please could someone help me understand the hip score. I apologise in advance for perhaps a obvious question, but we are potentially going to look and purchase a chocolate lab pup this evening. When my partner spoke to the breeder on the phone she said the hip score was 7 and 9. Can anyone tell me if that is the right and left hips of the pups or is it the score of the mother and father? Also is this a reasonable score? We want the dog as a family dog and not for breeding! The dog is being advertised on the kennel club website. Many thanks in advance
