Thanks Everyone for all the great info. I always wondered why a bitch was required to have all these tests but the stud dog didn't or should I say .... I was not aware that as the bitch owner I could require proof that the male was tested. I am not talking about OFA or eyes or heart, just in the Brucellosis test alone. :) Thanks again.

I personally at this point would not require the DM test but that is just me, because I am not convinced it is accurate. I would get my stud dog tested so if people want to put stock in it then they have the info. Both Microplazma and BC are uncommon but devastating if you get them (especially BC) If all bitches are tested right before breeding to the stud dog then the stud dog might be able to get away with once a year OR if there is any change in sperm quality. Just some suggestions. Deb In a message dated 3/8/2013 11:40:38 A.M.
