Having just spent around $600 dollars on DNA disease testing for my dogs (DM and RCND) you can imagine that one of the first things I will want to know when looking for a stud dog is, what testing has been done and what were the results. It would be nice if we had a list, like the one with dogs that do not produce coats and those who carry the black factor, that gave the DNA test results for some of these diseases. I am well aware of the fact that these tests are not all conclusive. They are merly tools to use in making choices, much likeOFA. Some say breeding is a crap shoot. If so, lets at least make it an educated crap shoot.
