AGREEMENT

We do not sell dogs or puppies, we place them where we feel they will thrive in a loving family environment. Our breeding program works toward the improvement of the Labrador breed. We breed to as close to the AKC standard Labrador breed as possible. We will place a healthy AKC Limited Registration English Labrador puppy with new family. Health Testing Information Prior to breeding, we determine whether a dog is to be considered for the breeding program based on multiple available tests and observation.   DNA tests are available for over 190 conditions, maladies, and diseases that affect dogs. Dogs can be Affected, Carriers, or Clear. By using these DNA tests to test all potential breeding program candidates, we can guarantee that none of the puppies produced & placed will be Affected.   

Radiology (X-rays) There is no DNA marker for hips and elbows. X-rays of the hips and elbow joints are used to determine whether a dog has the potential for the breeding program. The goal of the X-rays is to determine if those joints appear to be genetically normal reduce the risk of producing genetically poor hip or elbow dysplasia in future generations.  Dysplasia is a condition caused by an abnormal growth of tissue, cells, joint, or bone. Many factors can affect dysplasia, such as developmental, accidents, trauma, nutrition deficiencies, over-supplementation, genetics, and other environmental conditions.   Dogs with passing conformational and functional hips/elbows, when bred together, will produce 95% passing results with their offspring, which means that there may be some percentage that will NOT PASS OFA Certification as many factors play a part with hip and elbow development. Until we have DNA tests available for hips/elbows, which should result in 100% results, we will continue to use radiology to determine which dogs will be used for breeding.

SPAYING & NEUTERING INCREASES CANCER & JOINT DISEASE beyond 100%; please read report: UC Davis Results For Spaying & Neutering!   

Veterinarian Examination Within 72 Hours After Taking Possession of Puppy   The new owner MUST have the puppy examined by a licensed Veterinarian at his/her expense within 3 days of taking possession of puppy.

NO TREATMENTS ARE TO BE MADE!!! Unless there is a dire emergency that involves a "life or death situation" to the puppy or dog, no treatments are to be made until having consulted with Jill Pinegar, and then one of the following will happen as decided by Jill Pinegar/Bedico Labradors.   (A) conditions for the return to the breeder will be made as soon as possible without any treatment and without medical procedures performed on the said puppy.
