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....
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
@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...
