Labrador breeding is a big responsibility, but breeding Labs can also be a lot of fun! At The Labrador Site we help you to decide whether your dog will be a good mother, let you know what health tests you will need, and give you advice on picking a stud dog.
If you are looking at mating labs, and raising a litter of puppies in your home, there are a lot of things to carefully consider first. Although the idea of having puppies is lovely, the reality of Labrador Retriever breeding is that it can be a lot of hard work and expense.

Hi, I am having some trouble, and I am wondering if anyone could offer some advice. I recently moved and in the process of moving have lost all of my dogs AKC registration papers, his pedigree showing lineage back to 2004 and his AKC certificates. I’m unsure what happened to them. I registered him back in 2022 with the AKC and received all of his certificates but when I attempted to log back into my account there was no record of him listed in my dogs. any advice would be much appreciated.
