Well I have a stunning purbred big black fella sitting my back garden whom we adopted from Ashtown pound a couple of months ago, there are also three fine fellas sitting up there at the minute
I think breeders are always going to defend the breed which is probably understandable but there is always euro’s involved for them. I’ve noticed on irishdogs website that a lot of pedigree pups are now having their price tags slashed in order to have them homed.
Labs certainly can have hereditary problems, it is all about responsible breeding. We have two, Sally is a fine specimen of the breed, Steve the big black fella has a slight case of hip dysplacia, something we will have to keep an eye on and will most definitely need attention as he gets older. So be it.
