I try to breed for all CEA - normal eyed dogs and currently have about 50% of my dogs normal eyed carriers or non-carriers.
All dogs regularly CERF'd for CEA and other Eye problems ( I do not register these dogs with CERF because of the added cost, but copies kept on file in my dog's records and are provided to puppy owners with their puppy).
Current CEA Normal-eyed (carrier) dogs:
Tarzan, Mae, Bertie, Seeker, London, Mischief, Brigit, Gemini
DNA Certified Non-carrier for CEA: Calvin
All dogs OFA'd for Hip and Elbow problems prior to being bred. All of these results for hips and elbows can be found on the OFA webpages.
OFA Goods:
Ariel, Belle, Xena, Birgit
OFA Excellents:
Fortune, Calvin, Rush, Mae, Seeker
All of my dogs are tested for MDR1 Ivermectin Sensitivity - Puppies are tested prior to placement (a $45 value test).
All the results are available to see at my house and all puppies are tested prior to leaving my house.
All dogs tested periodically for Thyroid Function (Again I keep copies on file in my dog's record and do not add the registration costs for this on the OFA website because the additional cost it can add up quickly will all the testing I do)
All of my dogs have been tested for Gray Collie Syndrome through the new DNA tests available at Optigen:
Already DNA tested Normal (Non-carriers for Gray Collie Syndrome):
Rush, Calvin, Bertie, Seeker, Michief, London, & Brigit
My ONLY DNA Gray Collie Carrier: Fortune is now 10 years old and spayed. I have no carriers in my lines at this time.
All dogs tested for Cardiac Problems (heart murmurs,SAS,PDA)
All dogs tested and passing OFA Cardiac Testing so far (I do not register these tests with OFA because of that added cost - I do have original copies on hand for puppy owners to view and provide copies):
Ariel(2005), Tarzan(2005), Belle(2005), Xena(2005), Fortune(2005), Rush (2008), Mae (2008)
All my health testing results are available on my webpage and original copies from the parents and puppy's results are given to new puppy owners at the time they get their pup.
