I was talking to someone who has just bred a litter of pups now about 3wks old and she decided not to CL test untill it was more widely available
Which realistically i think means more available and cheaper. A awful lot of ISDS breeders dont hip score and most come out with the excuse oh the parents have worked for years so dont need scoring :smt021 what a stupid excuse. ...................
My puppy is from an ISDS breeder & his parents are scored(under breed mean/median/average)so they are not all the same
The CL test isn't that expensive done in the UK in fact my boy's tests & blood sampling cst £150 for both CEA & CL &storing a sample for the future hardly OTT & the tests were done in the USA
Also the ISDS will only register puppies by my dog if he is mated to a clear bitch The KC aren't interested in the DNA tests done by Optigen
