Following are health screenings often performed on breeding Labrador Retriever adults; choosing a puppy from a breeder who tests parents for health can help avoid future health problems in your puppy:
CERF Screening (Canine Eye Research Foundation)
Elbow Displasia (OFA, by X-Ray)
Hip Dysplasia (OFA or PennHIP)
Narcolepsy (genetic test)
Progressing Retinal Atrophy (genetic test)
IMPORTANT: Yellow, Chocolate, and Black are the only registered colors of the Lab. Silver coloring in the Labrador is controversial; silver is considered as a form of the Chocolate color, but some authorities on the breed warn about possible crossing with Weimeraners, and that even if the lines are pure the coloring is still considered undesirable and any associated health issues with this coloring have not been determined. If you are investigating the silver color, do plenty of research into the breed, coloration, and any breeder.
