I have no experience in this. Hip dysplasia is a genetic disorder common in labradors, to the extent where all responsible working dog breeders have their dogs checked (show dogs not so much). I have been lucky in that none of my labs has been affected. I have friends whose dogs have had dysplasia. The reality is that those dogs have had significant continual discomfort and mobility issues at best, even with extremely careful owners. The vets bills were large.
If you are up for this you will probably have an absolutely lovely dog and I would applaud you for giving it a second chance to be happy.
