Looking at a breeder for a golden retriever who performs OFA and PennHipp hip and elbows testing, but did not perform testing for heart and eyes. Is this a red flag or seem okay?

I think you’ve underestimated the veracity of pound rescuers and anti-breeders. Prepare for your alerts to skyrocket 🤦‍♂️

Yeah I figured this would happen, but I didn't ask for advice on making the choice to adopt or breed. Adopting certianly helps the problem, but negligent owners are the reason shelters are full. Plus it's hard to find a good field bred golden retriever puppy to train as a hunting dog. So please answer my question (as I'm looking to responsibly shop and not adopt) or don't answer it at all.

Sorry I’ve never heard of PennHipp testing so no advice on it, just saying in my limited experience of buying a Doodle from a breeder, we were faced with tons and tons of criticism. My only point was beware of what you ask for on here, people aren’t scared to voice their opinions. That’s all. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah I hear you, I was really referring to EY2, but I get it's a touchy subject.

The breeder did say that at the time it was not a concern when they first started breeding but would test it on future dogs but that would not be for another few years. It looks like 1 of the 2 dogs breeding do have testing for heart, eyes, elbows, and hips but the other only has testing on elbows and hips

My 11wk old puppy had his first meeting with another dog not from his litter today for a schedule play date. He was scared shitless and ran away (the other dog was leashed) across the yard and would not come close. How do I socialize my dog with other dogs when I’m having this issue? The other dog was kept leashed and was very docile.

Alright folks - I have the rescue cattle dog, Poppy. She's been doing great with training. She's a completely different dog than she was 2 months ago. I am starting her on the Middle command (stand between my legs). She seems reluctant. More so than any other command. I understand that the first training session is always a little rough. How many training sessions should I give it before I decide this just is too uncomfortable for her?

Can't remember what post had a side discussion re: CBD for dogs. But I just wanted to update. I ordered Charlotte's Web CBD oil and calming chews for my nervous cattle dog. I do think it has been helpful. The oil takes time to build up in their system. But the chews are for immediate use. I give her two chews before long car rides. The nervous panting, yawning, etc. is way down. It's not eliminated. But it's better.
