Possible Breeding

[Eli Delta]

I have been wanting to find a Yellow Lab Female to breed my Male black. Timber is AKC / UKC registered and is trained to the hilt. He is older but from what I have been told that should not make a difference. Can you guys help me in what all I should be looking for in a possible female, How I should approach this situation. I would like to have a puppy off of the liter.
Thanks for any help

First thing you should do is get health checks like, EIC, HIPS and EYES. It will be hard to find someone that will talk to you without those.

Yes, I appreciate that. I have all physical examination papers from vet. Im sure they include eye's, Im thinking Penn Hip information we paid for and all yearly information. I am unfamiliar with the EIC?

like bd said you are going to want to get all of that before you pursue it further...
