Re: Juvenile renal disease, please help

Thus the development of a genetic test was imperative to control this disease in this breed as well as others.

So to the breeders of your dog (and all the rest of the breeders out there) I say If you don't test, you don't know. And if there is a dna test available for your breed, you are morally obliged to use it if you breed - otherwise you are storing up heartache and distress for someone who has bought a pup from you in good faith

Is this a test that is availabe and breeders would do?
Because if so (i dont know as its not my breed) then im sure the breeder is liable as they have bred without testing,and produced "faulty" dogs which cant live up to their intended purpose of being a pet.
