PRCD tests - Ingen? Optigen -what are we calling this now???

When we test our dogs for PRCD now what are we calling the results? We could be all over the place now.... Optigen normal , Ingen normal, PRCD normal....
How would you list this when advertising your dog?

Just wondering!

I am thinking PRCD normal - what does it matter which company did the test?

Thanks

I am with you on the PRCD Normal. Although like 'bandaides and kleenex' which have become generic terms for the same product made by others, I suspect "Optigen" is now a generically recognized term too.

I agree. I think it can be up to the buyer/breeder to determine which test if it makes a difference.

On the couple I have done for my youngsters, I have chosed to put on our site: prcd/PRA - Normal/Clear or Carrier which ever describes the results.
