Hi everyone, we have been looking for ages for a lab puppy but hitting many brick walls with unscrupulous breeding and people out to make a quick buck not even doing basic checks. A licensed breeder emailed today about a black girl 1 week old but the hip scores make me apprehensive. Dam 5/3 Dams Sire 3/3 No info on Dam's Dam Sire 7/4 Sire's Dam 6/6 Sire's Sire 0/0 The breeders get really good reviews, the pups come from working stock, but should I be worried about these higher scores, I'm not an expert but everything I've read says I should be so far. My husband had a childhood lab that ended up with painful hip problems and he wants to do everything we can to avoid it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.x
