This is a thread about a health test, NOT about a member.

On topic please.

If she had the information she would have 2 days ago posted in the sharpie forum saying that the test was not in the UK yet and got loads of replys saying that it wasnt off other forum breeders/members. So how can she 1 day later say she knows where it is and has done for so long that shes sent her girls DNA off.

I think if she has information for the breed that could help then she should share it with sharpie owners but I am shocked she came back because If that was me....I would have logged off and gone to hide. (Then again if that was me I wouldnt withhold information about a breed health test).

In box clear, awaiting your PM Sharpeilover

It is on the Shar Pei fourm. Maybe not the same forum you are looking at though.

As im such a big liar I'll let you find it yourself and come apologise. This is now my last post on here as you all have proven you are on witch hunt again.

If you had been friendly towards me then maybe I'd have helped you.

No PM yet

PERMISSION TO CROSS POST GRANTED BY AUTHOR DR LINDA TINTLE WHO IS IN PART VALIDATING THE POTENTIAL TEST

Quote:

I am very sorry to tell you that my collaborators have decided that because we have a great many samples from the U.S. that they are not setting up UK and European collection points as originally planned at this time.

These samples were needed to validate the genetic test that we found in the preliminary studies conducted in the past few years. What we are hoping to find now is that the larger studies validate our initial research: that the genetic markers that we identified can be shown to have an association with and prediction for FSF and amyloidosis. This is still very much a research phase but I am more optimistic than I have ever been. There is hope that soon breeders will no longer be breeding "blind" to these disorders.

I have been saying for 20 years that I believed that you can have wide variation in genetic risk even within a single litter. I have not changed my mind on that but this study should help clarify this.

These samples are not for "THE" test. It doesn't exist yet without validation. I am not happy about seeing breeders pilloried for not participating at this juncture. If and when we do have a proven and scientifically valid genetic test and they do not test their breeding stock and puppies, you can get out the tar and feathers IMO. But until then, I would ask you all to try to remain patient and be tolerant. I know your frustration and I share the grief and heartbreak of losing these wonderful dogs.

That said, I am very grateful to the Shar-Pei owners and breeders who did contribute. There are a few who supported this project continuously in ways without which it could never have happened. They did this even knowing that the end result might be a test that decimated a lifetime of careful breeding. Because they love the dogs first. I will always be very grateful to these breeders and look forward to publicly thanking them when we reach our goal.

Again, I am very sorry to disappoint my friends in the Shar-Pei community in Great Britain and Europe. The SPCGB is very dear to my heart and has done much to help get us to this point. I will try to make it up to you. ~ Linda

As you can see, there is NO UK or European collection/drop point at this time

Thats because you are a lier....as the post above me confirms.
Its sad that you would get sharpie owners all over the worlds hopes up when you are lieing through your teeth to save your own skin.

As its now known that there is no such test/sample collection within the UK i shall now close this thread, before it goes any further off topic.
