Ok so we think the lab search is done WOO HOO!!! Pup is in the oven, if there is a female we are good!!! Due any day now. :crossfing
I want to start my golden search MUCH earlier. I want to research on my spare time so in a year when I am ready to buy, I have the hard part done and can contact the hopeful breeders.
I want to know what are "specific" golden clearances to look for and where etc? For instance labs need to be EIC clear (exercise induced collapse) that is huge in labs now. If you use letters please let this doodoo know what they stand for. I know ALL about OFA, I know to look for recent CERF, and CNM, but are there others?
I know I will have SO many more questions as I progress. I just want to know where to begin. Heck we will be busy once we have a lab pup in the house again. They can be terrorists! We didn't call Shadow "Devil Dog" for nothing. Though Belle was never a devil dog, she was probably one of the hardest dogs I had as a young'un. Now I know more about what they need we are ready!
