dog or puppy- Do you think anyone is paying that kind of money for tests?
3. There is NOT one test that covers all the diseases-or a combination of 2 or
3 disease in one test-
4.There is a list of breeds of dogs that are susceptible to which disease-such
as Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis is prevailent in American Bulldogs-
If you test your Biewer for this disease it will show the Biewer does not
have this disease - But they will never have this disease because it is not
prevailent to it- Very misleading
5.There are NO DNA markers identified for the Biewer for ANY Diseases or
to identify them as carriers of a disease-
But, maybe they are paying that kind of money for these tests, whether they are relevant or not. Judging from what it costs to buy a Biewer.

As you said, very misleading to the unsuspecting public.
