[QUOTE=IRMaxine;2733397]There is NO one test- I have contacted several reputable laboratories about "a test" for the Biewers- I was told there is no test for this breed- each lab has a list of breeds and the tests they can do for their specific diseases- each test cost approx $50.00- A Biewer tested for those diseases will always test clear- Hope this answers your question[/Q
Can you explain always test clear?
I do know that per conversations they do extensive testing, but since some of the diseases that affect Biewers also affect Yorkies. You would think that if DNA Markers have been found for identifying if a dog is a Shunt Carrier, the same test could be used for other breeds too.
