I do not test outgoing pups for PSS with bile acid at all unless there would be an issue that concerned me. All the background work I have done into the health history of my breeding pairs makes this an unlikely event. If it was a concern I would start with a blood screening and check for unusual elevations before proceeding with bile acid. An incoming dog that I plan to use would be tested, but not until they were MUCH older, and I was sold on the quality of the dog for use as a breeder.
