I just joined the RTF forum at the suggestion of Wes Murphy. Wes, are you out there?

I have a two year Sire for Stud. He is a grandson of of Helm's Point Doctor PT, featured in Outdoor Life magazine, and one of the most famous pointing Labradors.
funny stuff right there!I don't know Wes but if it helps, I just saw a guy walking down the road, looking at the ground, shaking his head and talking to hisself. HPW
While it is true that dog must at least age 2 yrs to be rated by OFA, this is not the case for PennHip. PennHip can evaluate dogs that are 4 months old, and the rules of the site say PennHip is acceptable.Im assuming this is the same sire of the litter of pups you just advertised on the lab puppies forum.
Id suggest that you better educate yourself on the rules of this forum. It is in poor taste to be advertising any stud dog on the general forum. There is a sub forum for that.
More importantly it is required that you have health clearances for a stud dog before you can advertise his services. Your dog hasn't even reached the age to be eligible to have his hips rated.
Additionally you need to educate yourself on breeding in general, as it is apparent that you know NOTHING about it.
Not only did you breed two dogs who have no titles or objective benchmarks to show they are worthy candidates to possibly improve the breed, but you also used a sire who is too immature to even be rated by OFA.
Most shameful and telling of your irresponsible breeding practices is the fact that you bred two carriers!!!!! You apparently didn't even have the pups tested, in spite of the fact there is a very good chance that some will be AFFECTED. Do you even know what that means??????
Its obvious that you either dont understand or dont care about the import of responsible breeding.
Please refrain from offering your pup as a stud; or for that matter refrain from all breeding until you educate yourself
True, but, in this case, the sire of the litter has neither OFA nor PennHip. Add in the potential for EIC affected puppies, well, I just hope all those puppies get lucky and don't suffer from something that could have been avoided. What I really hope is that there's a typo somewhere, because it is beyond me that someone knows enough to test but not enough how to use the test results so a dog doesn't suffer.While it is true that dog must at least age 2 yrs to be rated by OFA, this is not the case for PennHip. PennHip can evaluate dogs that are 4 months old, and the rules of the site say PennHip is acceptable.
I think you read your charts wrong. Carrier x Carrier doesn't produce all affected dogs statistically.. Do you not realize that you are producing EIC AFFECTED puppies??!!

Good luck
It is statistically possible that he "CAN" produce only EIC Carriers....Show me where I said ALL ?? I can read the charts.
Do you feel educated now, Danielle? ;-)Fine. Thanks![]()
