Re: Health testing
Not used them but know many people who have.

The test our breed uses it for is still un-certain (results can be inaccurate) maybe worth taking to someone within your own breed about them as they will have experience with the exact test you need.

I would suggest optigen hands down.....

No idea how laboklin do them but optigen are my first choice in all health tests.

Re: Health testing
Optigen all the way

Optigen send the results directly to the KC (assuming your breed is one of those that has the agreement in place) - they hold the patent for PRA

I know people who have used Laboklin for whole litters because they are cheaper - but if you want the results on the database - then Optigen is the way forward
