Vicki, thanks for letting us know. We have decided we will test Kura and will let you know how we get on & when we have ordered. Gutted for your result on her brother Trouper. Will keep in touch x Lisa & Kura x
@lukris:
That's good news about Chance Vicky. At least you know you have to find a nice clear boy for Nakura now. You must be relieved.
Chance is Nakura's son so can't use him! The search continues. We need to encourage more people to test are there are only about 6 clear stud dogs in UK at moment. So not much too choose from there!!
Thank you for all the information. I am going to a dog show in Springfield, Illinois next weekend to meet some dogs from Meiterhaus (Tad Brooks). This makes me feel alot more comfortable. :D
@dmcarty:
re: puppy mills and testing only one parent - I know for a FACT that at one place the sire of several years of litters was not the sire - it was a male who had good papers so his name was listed even though he was DEAD. One of the PM's males was the sire of several litters attributed to this OTHER dog. (I happen to know the person who owned the substitute sire)
So it is unfortunate but the testing will only be as ethical as those who provide information to the test.
Geez I hate to even say that but I am afraid that it's true.
No doubt about that… and another reason to only look at AKC who has a DNA parentage program for high volume breeders...
