I know that when Charmer dislocated his hip.....and the fear was Leggs Perthes, it wasn't....I had him checked out thoroughly.
I remember us having that conversation! Guess I'm not getting too old then LOL. Yes, I'm going to have Radar and now my little girl OFA'd. I won't be getting Tucker or Brookie done because they are fixed and so is Harvey. I won't be using anything out of them and all the siblings out of Brookie is spayed or neutered now. Tucker I never used so I will just have Radar and Cammie and now my little Molly when she's of age.

Well i just got off the phone with my vet and she is going to submitt
chaz's exray and her finding of lp and than we will go threw the girl's
we already have there ex-rays so we are one step ahead
it is just getting them all submitted and you are right there is no guarentee they are not carriers only keeping there pups and having them done will tell the true story
so I am keeping one out of sassy and zoe to test them when they get old enough and i agree with you Mary i wish there was alot more dna markers we could do because I would be in line also
I really do not want to put anyone threw the up's and down's I have been threw this year with certain dog's no matter what venue my dog's go
i want to do what is wright it may cost a little more with all the genetic testing But i feel i need to know my dog's are sound
And this may not be right for everyone but it is what I feel I need to do for me and I know I could be headed for a few more let down's when I do this
