Walk away now and find another litter where BOTH parents are hip scored and eye tested.
I can help you find one if you like- pm me if you want or phone Jean Quinn on 01324 851352 (she's the LRC Scotland puppy list coordinator).
Remember, it's not just about doing the right thing on paper - a dog with hip problems WILL cost you a fortune and cause masses of heartache. Do everything you can NOW before you spend your money to ensure the best chance of not having any problems.
We have a select group of black, yellow and chocolate brood bitches bred from generations of proven bloodlines. Whilst they're not given to posing, the pair on the right did kindly agree, to give you an indication of the quality from which we breed!
How can you tell quality from a picture of a pair of dogs?
Walk away..............there are so many well bred Labradors that there really is no need to resort to buying from un-health tested parents.....

I know it's not easy having to wait for a pup once you've made a decision to get one, but it is something you could regret for a few years possibly.....there is no excuse for not hip/elbow scoring Labradors, it really is not that much money to spend (especially as they have had several litters out of her already ) to give some kind of peace of mind
I was looking to buy a pup from this exact same breeder and i am a bit warey of the bitch not being hip-scored... i got sent through the pedigree and a picture of the dam and her pups but i still aint so sure.
If anyone knows of any good breeders that have yellow dogs for sale in scotland please let me know.
