Ah, so because you yourself personally have`nt seen it then it can`t exist in ISDS dogs ?
You need to take the `ol blinkers off once in a while, and to realise that you are not the all knowing oracle you believe yourself to be.
TNS
http://bordercolliehealth.com/TNSdatabase.html
"TNS carriers have been identified in lines not related to the Australian and New Zealand lines
where the disease was first identified - including 100% ISDS lines."
CL
"CL is often referred to as a disease that only impacts Australasian Border Collies. This is not true.
We can only speculate that CL was believed to be associated with the Australasian Border Collies
because CL was originally identified and diagnosed in Australia more than 25 years ago. However,
since that time, in the United States, the Texas A&M University reported that it had diagnosed CL
in several Border Collies located in Texas. Although the University never released the identity of
those dogs, this occurred several years prior to the importation of any Australasian dogs to the
United States. Therefore, these dogs had to be from American and/or British lines.
Approximately 10 years ago, a Border Collie located in Great Britain died of CL. A post-mortem
examination confirmed the diagnosis. Again, the identity of the dog was never released. However,
the dog was known to be from 100% British lines. "
If you refuse to believe it perhaps you should contact Dr Alan Wilton directly to tell him he must testing the DNA of imposter dogs or that any ISDS owners whose dogs have tested positive must be lying about their dogs` lineage, then you`d best get on to ISDS to let them know there is false DNA testing going on, [ if that`s what you really do believe ].
His email for direct contact is on the link above.
Don`t forget to let us know when he tells you that his testing is wrong and that he confirms you are right
