YT 2000 Club Donating Member | \hyperuricosuria - Warning Graphic Pics I have talked to you before on this disease which we do have a GENETIC TEST for. Here is a heartbreaking story of one dog affected with this. The pictures are graphic. Anastasia Awareness | Beautiful Black Russian Terriers

| Tragic....such a beautiful dog.....So Gail.....do they have the specific "lines" tagged that seem to produce this disease? If the pedigrees that produce this disease, as proven by genetic testing/markers, that would greatly improve/facilitate isolating the origins of the disease, helping breeders of BRTs avoid those lines in their breeding programs. |

| It's so terribly sad. Anastasia was a beautiful girl I'm really glad that you had your breeder give Dara the genetic screening to make sure she is not a carrier or affected. I hope important education like Anastasia's breeder is trying to do, your own wisdom that you so willingly share, and information about this easy genetic test spread to fight this insidious disease.

We are getting there. We have only had the test for 3 year! I have not looked recently but we were at over 150 dogs tested and more to come

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Our clubs are trying to sort this one out. Apparently you can have an affected dog that does not express the disease or at least not as severely in Anastasias' case. I am firmly on the side you never breed a carrier to a carrier or a carrier to a clear. Carriers in my opinion should be automatically bounced out of the breeding pool.

Correction do not breed an Affected to a Carrier. Carriers can be bred to clear but not in my opinion to other Carriers.
