Tate's 1st check up

[yola]

Good news on both fronts. I hope dear Tate continues to improve.

azz, these DNA tests are amazing and a real help in a serious breeding programme. Unfortunately the tests in this country cost anything up to 4 times the price of the service abroad. Mine are done in Australia!!!!

Thanks Yola.

I agree Kay have the same with SBT a test that hopefuly will prevent people breeding two carrier together and therefore hopefuly eliminating a "debilitating" degenerative disease in the breed.

But the prices have come down drasticaly in this country since it was "publicised" about 2 years ago. So much so that people from USA and Australia send their tests here, odd eh?

Hope yours does the same.The wonders of modern medicine.

That would be brilliant if the prices were lowered here but somehow I doubt it. The PKD test if done here, depending on your vets costs about £75 if you send it to Australia it costs £18, depending on the exchange rate. Not only that but you get the results back a lot earlier from the other side of the world.
