Her father is a carrier for EIC-Exercise Induced Collapse. ZIVA is also a CARRIER for EIC. It is very important to know this information before breeding as about 25% of a litter whose parents are both carriers will produce puppies that are affected by these diseases.

At Best Kept Labs, we do not want to produce puppies with diseases. This is why Genetic Health Testing through Paw Print Genetics is our First Priority. Take a minute to look at the Paw Print Genetics website. Genetic diseases should be taken very seriously. There is a wealth of information here. No matter who you choose to get your new fur baby from, INSIST on the parents having been tested for the diseases listed on the Labrador Panels.
