Susana Labrador carefully
screens all of our Labrador Retrievers for PRA, Hip dysplasia and Elbow
dysplasia. We
carefully screen all breeding stock, prior to being used in our breeding
program. Between 6 and 12 months, Each Labrador is properly positioned and
X-Rayed for proper hip joint setting and Alignment. The X-rays are sent to
the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) this test will provide us with
preliminary results. The procedure is repeated when the Labrador Retriever
is over 24 months of age, Hip X-rays sent to the OFA, as well as Elbow
X-rays sent OFEL, we then receive an
OFA/OFEL Final result. We have found the Cohen’s, at Newport Beach
Veterinary hospital are the nation’s top radiologist for this procedure.
Each Labrador is also tested
for Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) by a licensed Animal Ophthalmologist.
The results from this test are sent to the Canine Eye Registration
Foundation (CERF).
If all three of these tests are
performed the same year, an additional certification is provided from CHIC
with all results stated on one certificate.
