The breeder I got her from doesn't test so I think its really important to be sure.Im also going to get the genotype and the GSD blood tests,just to be 100% sure everything is ok.

£600 is crazy for a scan, I have been quoted 110chf,not sure how much that is in £'s not so hot on the currency conversions lol!. Imagine paying that £600 out though and finding out you didn't have too arggh!

The HCM test can also be one by yourself at home , you need a sterile swab and sterile container and the swabs are then sent to the lab for results hope this helps......CHRIS.
