Is she hip scored?

Personally I wouldnt breed from her. Any dog that isnt in tip top health shouldnt really be bred from. As bitches in whelp need extra meals to help them cope with the pregnancy and the feeding of pups afterwards I'm sure that this would upset her balance if you have managed to get her Pancreatitis under control.

Not yet because obviously it's quite a bit of money to do and if I can't breed then I feel there isn't much point.

Thank Jo for the reply, we have her pancreatitis under control, she' at a healthy weight and everything else is healthy

If she were mine i wouldn't consider having pups from her, firstly I would be concerned about the extra pressure put on her body through the pregnancy, will she still be getting the right nutrients, and will her body be able to pass them on to the pups, if you have a beautiful dog who you love, its not worth risking her.

I would also be worried about passing the condition on to the pups, is it hereditary ? Why not speak to your vet I am sure they would be able to give you some advice.

As Sally-anne has said, you would need to get her hip scored, to check everything is okay, I believe labs are also elbow tested now, don't know about eye testing, but on the Kennel club website you can find a list of all the test required for each breed
