Paganman Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) A guy at work is getting a chocolate lab puppy for his kids so of course I warned him about hips and elbows so he asked the breeder. He didnt want to was a bit embarressed about it but I kept on about it told him that they can get diseases that can cripple them and that the mum and dad should be xrayed. Anyway the breeder told him that the mum has hips numbered 3 and 5 and the dad has 4 and 8. Mums elbows are 1 and 1 and dads are 1 and 2. Are these ok?I think I remember reading that hips musnt add up to more than 6? but Im not sure on the elbows. He says that there arent any champions in the pedigree so does this mean than the breeder is just breeding for colour?I dont want to meddle in his busness but he picks up the pup next Sat and I want him to get a healthy dog. Sorry should this be in the health forum? Edited November 7, 2007 by Paganman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
