VetGen has the tests that are available, unfortunately the ones you list
aren't and the DM tests that they do list...well, there is some debate that
it is accurate for GSDs. Ginny addressed this a while ago, much better than
I ever could, so I won't even try....

Does anyone know if there is a list somewhere of genetic available DNA
tests , for example for bloat, toxic gut, mega etc.

Well, I have to agree with you here. The database, which actually meant
omething, has now opened up from the fifty or so dogs who'se owners cared
nough to do the testing to HUNDREDS. Not knocking all of you who actually
do
ip and elbows and the temperament test but the CHIC was SUPPOSED to be a
reeder's referral database. Although I would have preferred to see the DM
ests and other true genetic tests that do not change over time. I really
xpected more from the PC................<sigh>

ubject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Opinion on the Lowering of the Requirements for OFA
CHIC
I was so very sorry to get the e-mail from Tish regarding the downgrading
of the
FA CHIC, done at the request of the GSDCA. I do not understand this at
all.
Shouldn't we be demanding the support of advanced health testing in our
reeding stock? Shouldn't we be rewarding breeders who help to establish
these
igh standards? IMHO, there should be more requirements, as science
develops
ore tests, markers, etc., not less. Never less.
I found it odd that the GSDCA AOE award never demanded more in the way of
health
esting, and now, I find it odd that the OFA has lowered the requirements
of the
HIC to the GSDCA AOE level. Is that what influenced Carmen to advocate,
and
ecommend to the Board of the GSDCA, the downgrading of the OFA CHIC
equirements?
You breeders of the GSD have done such a fantastic job in lowering the
incidence
f hip dysplasia, as well as improving temperament, over the past 30 years.
Why
tep backwards now; why stop improving now? There are many health issues
we
EED to overcome, not just hip, elbows, heart, thyroid......the list should
be
rowing as we find new, more accurate ways to test our breeding stock.
Breeding programs should NEVER step backwards. JMHO
Paula,
