Prior to any breeding both sire and dame will have the following health screening and OFA numbers proving they’re clear no exceptions. I will send you an OFA link of each parent.
Hips- both parents will have OFA screenings and numbers prior to breeding. Golden retrievers carry a gene for hip dysplasia and although environment does play a role as well all measures should be done to prevent this crippling disease from any person breeding this breed.
Elbows- Both parents will have passing elbows with a OFA score and number prior to breeding.
Eyes- Both Parents will have had OFA eye exams within 12 months of breeding.
