FYI ... This is a animal sanctuary and not a retriever breeder. If you are fortunate enough to find a lab there GREAT ... But if you are going to invest your time in locating and $$'s in purchasing a "started" dog, hopefully you would be able to find a dog where you know you have health clearances - hips, elbows and eyes (as a minimum) as well as CNM and EIC clearances.Quote:

All dogs ,cats etc. are examined by a vet before they leave and are either spayed or neutered . All other health issues are discussed with the potential client if any. This is not to replace a reputable breeder but another option to people who want to adopt rather then go to a breeder. My daughter was very fortunate to adopt this 9 month old lab from Big Sky Ranch and has a soft spot for abandoned or abused animals. She will even be tested for CNM , EIC, along with eye examination for piece of mind.Quote:
