PRA Testing

How do I go about it? I know some shows do eye testing but silly me forgot to enter SKC so what are the other ways of getting it done? Not wanting it done right away but would like to get it done before the end of the year probaly.. Not decided on using him at stud yet but I want to get him tested anyway just to make sure everything is ok!

Look In your area for clinic's. we have one that come near us (about 5miles away) 3 times a year and this Is where we have the prcd form of pra and glaucoma tests done.

You can have the dna test done for pra, Its ordered from america and sent back as a blood sample. But even with the dna test you should still have the yearly one done.

I've saw people say on fb that there is group testings being done and sent to America or something. Just luck when they send them off I guess!
