Not sure how many have helped in this research
From DNA Swabbing and/or Blood
or when you have your pups tails docked
to spinal fluid from those that had to be put to sleep for any reason
from healthy females with double seasons - false pregnancies whether it be once or every cycle
aggression
any medical issue no matter how big or small the more info they can get the better
they have a form and also any family history and a small questionaire it all helpful ..i have included 5 gens on dogs that i have sent in
You can contact katy for having blood samples sent in to give the info to your vet for how they want the blood spinal fluid sample or pups tails and the shipping info
The information you send in is confidential so if you look at the web site...you will see that they are showing brittanys HD rate is more like 26 percent versus the 17-18 percent that OFA shows more people are willing to be more shring when it doesn't show who the dogs are that are more disposed to producing hips which are not passing...
Yes i know it is the big sweep under the carpet issue
Anyways .,..for this program to really help us in the long run we all need to send our info in as complete as possible even the rescue dogs that there is no known history on them need to be sent in
