He is a lovely boy. Have you had his DNA for Fanconi done yet?

Bibi is 2,5 years old and here isnt easy do this test. And its very expensive… But by WBS in Sweden will be such possibility and then for sure Bibi will be researched;) Next year he will have eyes and hips tests. Probably he will be breeding next year and I`m so happy:D So then he must to have tests.

It may be getting easier for people in Europe to test. They have been working with the FTA-Elute cards and I think getting some good results so by the time the lab is running tests again, there may be other options for Europeans.

Biggest thing is finding a vet that will do it and then ship it out. Then it is also VERY expensive because the sample has to be shipped via Fed-Ex/UPS, (from Germany, just a single page letter cost me via UPS $70). There is also more going into it for blood samples and customs. I believe from Poland it will be even more expensive.

That is why they have been working with the FTA-elute cards. They could sent via regular mail and do require blood so none of the paperwork.

The down side for research is that they do not provide enough sample for future research.

Thank you, I understand now. I actually just looked up the FTA-elute cards for some reason I missed that part in the first one you posted :o

No, it's far and will be too expensive, having 5 dogs, taking them( cost of all the tests needed) or boarding them is not possible.
