We follow the AKC and Labrador Retriever Club health screening list. A stud earns the Verified Health badge when its owner uploads:
Test
What we accept
Hips
OFA hip evaluation or PennHIP
Elbows
OFA elbow evaluation
Eyes
Eye exam by a board-certified ophthalmologist (CAER)
DNA
Exercise-Induced Collapse (EIC), Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), prcd-PRA and D locus (dilute)
Brucellosis
Negative test taken before the breeding
Recommended and shown on the profile when present: cardiac exam, Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis (HNPK) and Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) DNA. A Lab that is a carrier for a DNA condition can still be a good stud when paired with a clear female, and the profile shows each result so you can plan the pairing. In addition, you can look up any registered result on the OFA website.

Labs are bred for hunting and field trials, the show ring, and service and family work. Therefore, owners tag each stud's line and titles, such as FC, AFC, MH or CH, so you can match a stud to your goals.

How much does a Labrador stud cost?
Most Lab stud fees fall between $500 and $1,500. However, field champions and titled studs cost more.
What health tests should a Labrador stud have?
OFA hips, elbows and eyes, DNA for EIC, CNM, prcd-PRA and the dilute gene, and a recent negative Brucellosis test.
What is EIC in Labradors?
Exercise-Induced Collapse is an inherited condition that causes weakness and collapse after intense exercise. A DNA test shows whether a dog is clear, a carrier or affected.
Can a carrier Lab be used at stud?
Yes, if the female tests clear for the same condition. As a result, puppies from that pairing will not be affected.
Do you list field-bred Labs?
Yes. Owners can tag field, show or service lines and also list hunt test and field trial titles.
Does VerifiedStuds guarantee a litter?
No. We verify owner identity and health documents, but conception depends on both dogs. Any return service comes from the stud owner's terms.
