Question
I HAVE A BEATIFUL 2 YEAR OLD MALE LAB. I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT STUDING HIM OUT HOW DO I GO ABOUT THIS? HE IS PAPERED.

Answer
Hi. First, you figure out what genetic health problems are in the Lab breed, and have him tested for them. During this, you'll want to have an experienced lab breeder have a look at him to see what his faults and virtues are. If he passes his health tests, and is considered a good specimum of his breed, then you can advertise him. Make sure you pair him up with other females that also passed their health tests, and doesn't have the smale faults he has. If there's anything else I can help with, let me know.
