Re: Question Posted by Yelena Levitina on April 3, 2009, 3:48 pm, in reply to "Question" I googled and found out that: - PRA – Progressive Retinal Atrophy - DNA test is available to test for the genes responsible - I suppose "clear by grandparentage" means that the dog is from certified clear parents and grandparents? Hope this helps...  Post a Response

Re: PRA Clear question Posted by Karen on April 3, 2009, 6:54 pm, in reply to "PRA Clear question" If there is a genetic test for something, clear by parentage means both parents have screened DNA 100% clear (not carrying a recessive). Now, this means ALL sets of grands have to have tested 100% clear AND the breeder better be able to prove it. If not, I would not trust it myself. Now, my youngsters are vWD clear, DNA test by parentage and if needed, I can prove it. But I will be having them tested anyhow just for others...  Post a Response
