Morgan's Point Ranch Health Guarantee and Guidelines
Your dog’s hips are guaranteed per PENN hip guidelines. In order for this guarantee to be in effect, the dog must be x-rayed within first 24 months. If it is female, must not be x-rayed around her heat cycle, must be x-rayed by a radiologist who is certified for the PENN hip method. The dog must not have been bred or injured or the guarantee is null. If dog is certified to have hip dysplasia, the owner must submit a copy of the PENN hip report. Your dog's microchip number must be on file with us. Please submit proof that dog has been spayed or neutered.
Eyes are guaranteed against Progressive retinal Atrophy, Progressive Rod-cone degeneration (PRA-prcd).
Other Genetic Disorders:
We have a life time guarantee for known to us at the time of this breeding, genetic disorders that can be tested for by Paw Print genetic testing for Labrador Retrievers.
This includes only those disorders that threaten the health of the dog...
This includes only those disorders that are 100% genetic...
This includes only those disorders where environmental factors can be completely ruled-out. Guarantee depends on positive Identification:
The guarantees above depend on being able to positively identify the dog. The guarantees above are not in effect unless your dog is micro chipped and his/her information is on file with us.
No dog will be guaranteed unless it carries the Morgan's PT or Morgan's Point prefix in it's AKC and/or UKC name and has not been transferred to a new owner.
This guarantee is VOID if the dog has been bred.
Food: We recommend a high quality, scientifically formulated, balanced puppy food for the first year, such as Purina Pro Plan Puppy or Science Diet. We have tried many different products, our current favorite for our adults is Purina Pro Plan Sport No Corn, Wheat, or Soy, All Life Stages and Purina Pro Plan Puppy No Corn, Wheat or Soy, for the puppies; they offer many choices: salmon, chicken, lamb.... The cost is a bit more, but typically the dog does not require as much and will be healthier in the long run. After one year of age, adjust the protein level of the well balanced food to the level of activity of the dog. Also don't forget a good probiotic such as D.E.S. Healthguard, fast acting liquid Probiotic, helps to promote healthy digestion as well as a good immune system.
As a responsible new owner please make sure you have a secure fenced yard or kennel to run your dog, do not let them out unsupervised.
We strongly urge you to spay or neuter your new puppy by around one year of age. Please respect our breeding program and do not breed unless you have permission and have paid for those breeding rights.
Breeding rights are obtained by special agreement only to certain established breeders that meet our qualifications with their breeding program. We have worked hard to build our program, we are small but we do take this seriously, please respect this.
There may be an option for you to join our breeding program with your special dog from us... ask us about those details.
If for any reason in the future you are not able to keep your Morgan's Point Lab, please contact us, as we appreciate the first opportunity for rehoming. We understand life changes and priorities change! Thank You!
If a problem is covered by our guarantee: We, Jim and Andrea Morgan,
will replace the puppy with another pup from a similar breeding of our choosing, when available. Travel costs or shipping to return your current dog to us are not covered.

- If you notice your dog becoming overweight it is your responsibility to cut the food a little and increase activity... just like children they rely on you to structure their lives, plenty of love (food is not always love)... time spent with them is the greatest gift of love you can give them,
- A regular feeding/potty schedule and time by themselves in a safe environment is important as well, crate training. We use praise when our dogs go potty, “Good boy, Good girl” and pet / praise them.
- Set boundaries early on.
- Discourage them from nipping, jumping and tearing things up right from the get go. Just like a child, if you wait too late to discipline you WILL have a troubled dog on your hands.
- Limit the "treats", a few pieces of their own food is a great reward.
- Please avoid rawhide treats/bully sticks (pieces of raw hide can be swallowed and possibly cause a bowel blockage), and brittle cooked bones where small ends/pieces can break off and be swallowed. Be vigilant with soft toys (as they can tear them apart and swallow stuffing causing a blockage). We recommend Nylabone for strong chewers, or hard Kong toys (under supervision), Jolly ball hard plastic with holes and a ball in the middle is a great toy.
- Please take great care in puppy proofing… very similar to baby proofing your house. Check your floors constantly for dropped medications and small things that a puppy might get ahold of and swallow. Keep electrical cords out of range. Keep sugar free products with xylitol out of reach. Be careful with socks and shoes… a puppy can easily swallow a sock… and other small items.
- We try to not let our dogs jump down from the truck bed or from high places, this is hard on their developing joints... you will want to help ease them down... or if your dog is elderly, you will want to help them down as well to preserve the mobility.
- Also normal puppy play is fine and short 10 -20 minute walks, but no running with them until cleared by vet and they are developmentally able to handle it, (think of making a small child run distances for fitness before they are developed enough in the muscles and bones, you wouldn’t normally do it.)
