[nagdu] dog breed question

[Shanna Stichler]

Labs are a pretty robust breed, for the most part. They can have joint 
problems, but hip and elbow dysplasia shouldn't be a factor since your 
school should be checking for that before your dog is considered 
class-ready.

All my Labs were very healthy except for the occasional ear infection. 
Ear infections are something to watch out for in dogs with floppy ears 
like Labradors, but they are very easy to treat and even prevent with 
regular ear cleaning.

Best of luck with your new guide!
