As far as me saying I don't give a crap about improving the breed I meant that I am less apt to look at a dog for what they have won than for what they can do. I understand that it's proof but that being said ive seen a lot of dogs and horses that were utterly amazing without there being proof until they gave you proof! I understand that OFA is a minimum that being said it's better than nothing. And as far as the stud fee that is based off of what his last litter was sold for per pup. We ask for the price of one pup for a fee. The point I'm trying to make is I did ask for opinions, I didn't ask to be insulted.
What would life be without the thrill of the hunt?

I understand about looking at qualities other than titles. I did it myself with my female. I picked a stud who didn't have titles but, a solid pedigree and he was a hunting machine. He did however have all his health clearances done.

Just doing OFA and selling pups for $600.....well...... I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. Especially if you don't know first hand about the parents on both sides and what their breeding carries....like the EIC, CNM and PRA.

The female that we bred him to belongs to our very good friends. So as far as she goes we were set. Her parents belonged to family of our friends. As far as breeding to a new female thats a different story. We would be asking some questions. But if you look at labs 600 CAN be on the low end I would be very wary of buying one cheaper than that. :dunno: maybe that's just me.

Well, if OFA is all you've done, to be really blunt, you're breeding pups which should sell in the $300 range.

What testing have both of the parents had?
