The Importance of Health Clearances

DeHaan Labs believes that every puppy listed for sale should only come from a sire and dam with health clearances completed. All health clearances should be complete and made available to any potential buyer. The minimum standard should be hips (scored Excellent or Good) and elbows (scored Normal) by the OFA (or Penn Hip) to rule out dysplasia, Eyes (certified as Normal) by the OFA, and the typical labrador retriever ten test DNA panel performed by any reputable testing company. These listed above should be the minimum and are widely recognized as the minimum health certifications to have for breeding labrador retrievers.

DeHaan Labs has a 26 month guarantee for the hips, elbows, and eyes of your puppy. DeHaan Labs warrants that your puppy will not have dysplasia in the hips or the elbows and the eyes will test normal. DeHaan Labs has a LIFETIME guarantee on any of the major Congenital conditions in the Labrador Retriever including CNM, CMS, EIC, HNPK, MCD, GR-PRA, PRE-PRCD, RD/OSD, SD2, and STGD.
