Wooooooohoooooooooo!
I'm finally in the process of getting my DNA testing done on my breeding dogs. I'm going to start out by testing Chip, Bella and Hickory. I'm leaning seriously toward having Canada spayed and retiring her, so don't see any point in putting money into the DNA testing for her. The DNA test I'm using tests for: # Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) # Hypothyroidism with Goiter (HTG) (Congenital Hypothyroidism) # Cystinuria (CYST) # Globoid Cell Leucodystrophy (GCL) # Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) # Phosphofructosokinase Deficiency (PFK) # Von Willebrand Disease (vWD) # Narcolepsy (NARC) # Cone degeneration (CD) # Canine Leucocyte Adhesion Deficiency (CLAD) # Hemophilia B (HmB) # Muscular Dystrophy (MD) # Myotonia Congenita (MC) # GMI Gangliosidosis (GMIG) # Retinal Dystrophy (prad) # SCID (DNA-PKc & DNA PKc2) # Mucopolysaccharidosis Type VII (GUSB_NOSVVIII) # Thrombasthenic Thrombopathia (THROM) And will give a complete analysis of your dogs color genes so I will know for sure what color potentials each of them can pass on. This also is used as a "fingerprint' of each individual dog so that if they or any of their off-spring are ever stolen or there's any question about their parentage, we'd have these recorded to verify them or any of their offspring at any time free of charge. This is my first step to certifying the dogs as premium breeders. Now I'm going to be on pins and needles till I get the results back and know they're all clear. **Crossing my fingers!**

Wow! Both DNA and new running areas are exciting! You are really coming along with your breeding program!

Very prudent of you to do this!! I'd be so afraid something bad would be found and then what do you do?

That is a big fear Marilyn, and if anything shows up that is a threat to their offspring I'd have to research whether it's something that needs both parents to pass down so they'd be safe but couldn't be breeders; or if it's something just one parent having it could pass to them, I'd have to spay/neuter the affected dogs which would be sad and frustrating.
BUT if I get clean results on them, I will know I can breed them worry free for several years. That of course is what I'm hoping for! The fact that they're all so young means it's well worth getting it done.
