Frequently Asked Questions
ā¾ What is the EverOak philosophy behind stud service?
At EverOak, stud service is not a transaction ā it is stewardship.
Each breeding decision is made with long-term vision and responsibility. Our priority is protecting structure, temperament, health, and the integrity of the AKC Breed Standard. Legacy is never accidental; it is built intentionally, generation after generation.
Stud approval is extended only to breeders who share these preservation values.
ā¾ What health testing is required for the bitch?
To safeguard the future of the breed, the following are required:
- Final OFA (or PennHIP) hips and elbows
- Current ACVO eye clearance
- Cardiac echocardiogram by a board-certified cardiologist
- Breed-appropriate DNA screening (PRA, HNPK, EIC, etc.)
- Dilute (dd) status for Labradors
- Negative Brucellosis test each cycle
- Proper progesterone timing (LH required for frozen semen)
All documentation must be reviewed and approved by EverOak prior to breeding.
ā¾ Are EverOak Labradors dilute-free?
Yes. EverOak Labradors are 100% dilute-free.
We do not participate in or support dilute-producing programs (silver, charcoal, champagne), as preservation of correct breed type and genetic integrity is foundational to our program.
