If anyone has a CNM affected dog, please contact me privately. Thanks.

Marilyn. I tried 5 different times each about 20 minutes apart last evening as I needed to look up a dog. I again tried 4 times today before posting to this forum.

I am glad to know that the site...

I have been trying to access the cnm website for several days and it will not load. Is it down? I don't get the 404 error, but just an information screen that the web page can not be displayed....

So you know the issues I have had with Skype and the odd echo ;)

I have a Skype dual line phone, but it is the old type that connects to the computer. It does not work reliably with Vista. I...

Phone number hijacking is not legal any more (so I am told). The only downside I have seen is that I have to contract for at least a year. If I change before then, there are penalties like with a...

I am considering switching to Vonage for my phone service. I have been using Skype for my long distance calls for 3 years, but have found that more and more people will not answer calls without a...

One of ours that belongs to a local friend always catches his own supper when they go fishing. He only grabs one a day - they clean & dress it and fix it up for him with theirs.:D They aren't as big...

The math supports the figure of 4%. It has been posted on several other threads.

I am recommending VDC to anyone who asks. They have been really accurate and give the "chocolate" gene reference accurately - they indicate which of the various brown genes is present. The link is a...

For a long time, yellows were considered "air heads" by many people. Some of the service dog groups started selectively breeding to get yellows for their program (better visibility), and they also...

For dogs listed as "clear by parentage", has the parentage been verified? OFA will issue a certification of "clear by parentage" for DNA tests if the parentage is also verified through DNA profiles....

That is hard to determine from OFA records. You have a few of my show champions - and there is no way to see their record like the FT dogs. That's ok.... that is not your audience. So the real issue...

I don't know what your point is, but I knew Sally McCarthy before she added Munson. Back in the early 70's I owned a daughter of Briggs and a bitch from the repeat breeding that produced him. I also...

Wow... I didn't know I was in such great company! Since OFA reports that I have 192 records for Labradors with my kennel name in the last 10 years, you must have given the wrong criteria or sources...

I was a little disappointed that after 40 years of dedication to this breed, of the 80,000 retrievers you have in your database, none of them were mine ;) That leads me to ask, where did you get your...

I have been using DDC Veterinary division for some of my testing. I like them a lot better than VetGen. The link is

Let me start with a disclaimer - for a lot of reasons, I am not a fan of PennHIP. I have personally observed that using OFA for assisting in breeding decisions HAS significantly altered the course of...

I would have to take my clues from people who deal with breeds in which this is a common problem - which includes many of the toy breeds. It is a very heritable trait in most of them. Since it is not...

I received the OFA certificates for my four and the number was incomplete. It was lacking the age in months, gender, ident, etc. - just had LR-EIC12 (13, 14, 15). I called and the certificates will...

I don't quite understand your message, but I thought you were asking about European and/or show lines with EIC. Or maybe you were asking about Chessies?

My Labrador bitch that collapsed 11 years...

I stand corrected. I was sure one of the Golden people has said her dog tested affected for EIC, but evidently that gene has NOT been found in Goldens yet or in Flat Coats. It has been located in...

My first (and only) experience with EIC was 11 years ago with a show-bred bitch. The sire was imported from Finland and the grandam and grandsire on the dam's side from England. This is NOT just an...

We do the same in LabraData. Any test claim that is not in OFA requires a copy of the report. Owners can submit "anecdotal" health information (dog had intermittent lameness) without any supporting...

Congrats, Jay. One more hurdle cleared.

I know that most of the Lab field folks use GDI and the Goldens have K9data. Both are handy and provide quick access to pedigrees. LabraData was designed to be a document database and it is those...
