Bit Disappointed!

I was downloading the form to register Cooper when I noticed the link to the Optigen prcd-PRA page for Miniature Poodles so I went and took a look. They have lists of dogs that have tested clear or carrier on there so I printed them off (my 3 are on there) but I was very disappointed with the very small numbers of dogs that appear to have been tested.
Has anyone had a look at their breeds test results?
Personally I think if there is a DNA test available it should be complusory to be tested before accepting puppies from them to be registered.
What do you think?

As far as I know Cocker Spaniel results are going to be accepted and listed by the KC soon too and yes I do think that if a test is available then it should be compulsory.

I have heard that 'some' stud dog owners are stating their dogs are clear, even though not tested, so the sooner the results are published the better.
