Pretty sure there is a board post about it, but I THINK there was a contamination issue or something. Certainly have not heard of any issues in a long time.
The more data that is in the data base, the better people can use the that information as this is a Linkage test only… and errors can be made either human or test....
@DiegosMom:
I'm so happy the cheek swab test is available.. I moved and changed vets and haven't gotten Meeka to the vet to draw the blood.. I just ordered my test kit though, so much easier then collecting and shipping blood!
I think BRAT and other rescue orgs need to make sure all adopters know how easy it is to test for this now, and should really encourage adopters to do it..
Amen to that….. BRAT does need to (IMO) do the test... or at the very least explain about the test and how to get it done....
@Mia:
I don't know who her grandparents are, how would I find that out (website)? I have the registration #'s for both her parents.
You can order a pedigree from AKC, www.akc.org and then go to the store link. You can order it on line as an electronic file for 10.00.
Most breeders give you an extended pedigree?
