I have a 1 year old chocolate lab. Akc registered but cant get his eyes and hip certifications till hes 2. Looking for a female lab of any color just to see what he'll throw. You can sell the litter or give them away. all i want is one puppy. i am located in dutchess county ny.

Shawn--I know it's hard to wait but I would sure encourage you to wait to breed him. You want to know 100% that both his eyes and hips will certify. There is no need to possibly pass on hip dysplasia or eye dysplasia to offspring. If your dead set anyway you can still have a preliminary hip x-ray taken and have it sent to OFA--they will give you a preliminary reading. You can get the eyes cerfed anytime--they don't have to be 2 years of age.

As far as what he'll throw--just remember 50% of the genes come from the mother--he might be a heck of a hunting dog but if the mother doesn't have the same drive or similiar characteristics all the pups could be worthless as hunting dogs.

good luck
