Christina Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Does anyone know the cost of having a litter DNA tested for PRA. I recall there is a reduction in cost for this if both parents are already tested. A & B result, damn ! So considering the mating & testing all pups. The genetic services website won't load up.

dancinbcs Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 You really need to get on to the Genetetic Tech site calculator to work it out. There are several PRA test options, with discounts for different numbers of tests, online discount, etc. Not sure about a discount if the parents are done because the puppies would still need to be tested, when one parent is a carrier. Test the whole litter if you want to but keep in mind that you should keep the best puppy regardless of PRA status. This litter with (A) and (B) parents cannot be affected © but will all be either (A) or (B). The whole point of having dna tests for autosomal recessive conditions is to allow for the safe breeding of carriers, not to eliminate them from the gene pool. Any puppies that are to be sold limit register to be desexed do not need to be tested because its makes no difference if they are (A) or (B). Of course, if you are trying to make a decision between two or three puppies then the dna status may be a deciding factor. Only puppies that will be used for breeding need to be tested.
