Labrador guides

Practical advice for happy, healthy Labradors.

Buying a Labrador safely

Always view the puppy in person, meet the mother, and ask to see hip & elbow scores plus eye and PRA test results. Never pay before viewing.

Choosing the right Labrador

Working-line Labs are high-energy and best for active homes; show-line Labs are typically calmer. Black, Yellow, Chocolate or Fox Red — colour is preference, temperament is what matters.

Bringing your Lab home

Set up a quiet crate space, stick to the breeder's food for the first week, and book a vet check and second vaccination within days of arrival.

Selling Labradors responsibly

Honest, detailed adverts find the right home faster. Vet potential buyers and prepare paperwork: vaccinations, microchip, KC registration and health test certificates.
