Most good breeders will do all of this and more , I was asked if i was going to let either of my labs have litters and at first i thought about it then i descided against it as there are so many litters out there already and rescue dogs all looking for homes , I also had to resign myself that my 2 are not of good enough quality to breed from , not having a full history i didnt want to pass on anything to pups that would mean new owners would have to pick up the pieces of bad genetics , first and foremost our girls are members of the family "quote"
Andrea I salute you for the above statement in your post
Hopefully the OP and other posters read it slowly before breeding a litter Fran
