You are best to contact the labrador club of america and find a breeder that is a member in good standing. as the most popular breed EVERYBODY is breeding labs and most of them are crap. Here are some tips on choosing a quality breeder:
A Reputable & responsible breeder…
Is a member in good standing of at least one regional or national breed club.
Is involved in showing/training for conformation, performance or breed specific events.
Encourages/requires puppy buyers to stay in touch and is happy to help with any aspect of care and training during the dog’s lifetime.
Will ask you questions about why you have chosen the breed and about your home, family and lifestyle.
Tests all their breeding stock through OFA, PennHip & CERF for Hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, eye disease, heart defects, thyroid, patella and other genetic health problems (check with national breed club to find out what testing your breed requires) and DOES NOT breed those who do not clear.
Will ONLY breed health cleared adult dogs and not young puppies and adolescents.
Guarantees the health IN WRITING for at least 18 months.
Does not speak badly about other breeders or their dogs.
Does not try to SELL you a dog.
Requires dogs be returned to them in the even the puppy buyer cannot keep them.
REQUIRES that pets be spayed/neutered as well as selling them with Limited Registration (which does not allow them to be used for breeding)
Asks for references, including a vet reference.
Be prepared to be on a waiting list for a puppy from a responsible breeder. A quality puppy is worth the wait!!
