No worries...not a problem to repost at all..
Currently I'm testing hips using Penn Hip, I like the fact that they use three different x-rays(different positions), to review. I also test for vWD, PRA-Prcd, through Pawsitive ID. Although, I have emailed them a question in regards to the vWD testing, and I'm waiting for a reply. My question to them was, How old does the dog have to be before vWD results are valid? I've always heard for that specific test, they needed to be one year of age. So, I have questioned this and am waiting on a reply. Also, I have done eye cerf, dated in 2006, so they are due for another eye exam. I have done SA, but do not feel very confident in this test. So, I'm not sure if I will make that a standard test in my program. I also use Pawsitive ID, for DNA coloring. I have one dog who has failed the Penn Hip test and therefore he will no longer be used in my breeding program. But, he will still live with me as he is my "COOL DOOD"
I may consider doing OFA hip tests at 2yrs., and use Penn Hip for my prelims, anywhere from 7 months and older. Any further testings that I may do, I will post once I have done them. And will post my thoughts on the tests as well.
I hope I haven't forgotten anything.....
