You can do BAT at a very early age, before you breed or finish a dog.   |  
 
  Ok, since you were posting as I was typing, I get to post again.  lol  

  I find it presumptuous to declare why someone is or isn't posting to this thread.  Just because you don't find their reason for not testing valid does not mean it isn't.  So much for the importance of forming your own opinion....obviously the only right one is the one you share. 
As 
we agree on the testing itself, perhaps we can just agree to disagree on the 
reasons for BATing.
