My parents spent a couple of grand on a new (Labrador) puppy a few years ago. After doing a lot of research, they found a breeder who deliberately breeds for good hip health (which is a big problem for Labs in general). Their main reasoning is that our old (also Lab) has had hip degeneration, and didn't want to see a dog go through that again.
