Q. & A. with Anne
Why did you start breeding?
After purchasing a Labrador puppy to show, it brought me to the world of purebred dogs. I became active in training and showing Labradors. The training piece really piqued my interest, and from there, I knew I could have a knowledgeable breeding program. Just as important as breeding dogs for myself is the awareness of what type of Lab makes a great family companion.What makes your program special?
I am able to devote most of my time to breeding and raising our Labradors. Coming from a training background and having worked with thousands of dog owners, I have an emotional and knowledgeable understanding of what makes a successful family companion. I offer support throughout the lives of the dogs we've bred, as well as beyond to new dogs "my" families acquire, even when not bred by us.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Excellent level
Radiance Labradors reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Labrador Retrievers.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Retinal Dysplasia/Oculoskeletal Dysplasia 1 (RD OSD), Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis (HNPK), Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), Cone Degeneration, Labrador Retriever Type, Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), D Locus (Dilute) DNA test
