I am awaiting on getting the results of the Dam from her breeder for I will definitely ask them about retesting because if she is clear there should be no reason my male is at risk. It is situations like this that makes doing these tests important because it helps with trying to determine the validity of the tests. I know that they did not use OFA for their test that is why not on the OFA database she was tested at the vets office and they sent it out for her and called with results when they came back in. I am definitely getting beyond frustrated for none of this is panning out.
