Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
All environmental/ socialisation has been heavily addressed. I am a dog trainer and understand the importance of environmental training from a young age. Pups fully crate trained ( 8.30pm - 6am ), in a good routine, great in car and under any circumstance.
Health
Parents have both been fully health tested. Both neg to PRA and have excellent hip & elbow scores
Home environment
Raised in a family home with other dogs of varying breeds and sizes ( my Business runs a Stay &,Train Programme for puppies from 8 weeks of age ), horses, cattle, small children, old people. You name it they have seen it
Included with our puppies
A very balanced happy, social, calm puppy that all the initial hard work has all been done for you.

Additional Tests
Iron of Hearts Labradors conducts 2 additional tests available for the Labrador Retriever.
Physical Test
An eye certificate means the breeder has had their breeding dogs examined by a veterinary ophthalmologist, to confirm they are not affected by any eye conditions which may be passed down genetically to their puppies. If relevant for the breed, it also includes running DNA tests to confirm the dog is not a genetic carrier of hereditary eye diseases, such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA). It includes breeders who have participated in the Australian Canine Eye Scheme (ACES).
Physical Test
A heart certificate indicates that a breeding dog has been screened for heart disease such as DCM or MMVD. Auscultation alone is only accepted as a screening method if performed by a veterinary cardiologist or a GP vet certifying an OFA Basic Cardiac Screen. Echocardiography is an accepted screening method via GP or cardiologist.
