Hello Gail!! Yes, I definitely believe in testing. However I do not do tests that are not validated for the Biewer breed. I do not make statements that my dogs have been tested clear and free of diseases or as carriers with tests that are not valid for this breed- When the marker or mutation is not found on the Biewer dna it does not mean they are free and clear of the disease- I can not find a laboratory that have not done enough testing on the Biewer breed to identify the markers/mutations.
Please share with us the name of the laboratory you are using that have made all of these break-thrus?
What specific diseases are they testing the Biewers for?
What mutations have been identified for the Biewer breed? |
