EIC testing?

Where is the best place to test for EIC? Are they any places that will do more than just EIC on one sample, for instance, color testing too?

Re: EIC testing?

Since there is a patent involved, you can only test through the University of Minnesota, link HERE.

Re: EIC testing?

Well! Just got an email from Paw Print Genetics and now they offer color testing as well.

They also have a 15% discount between now and 1/11/15 You have to enter the code HNY15 to get it.

Re: EIC testing? HPNK

It is nice to see they have HNPK available. I want to test all of my girls of breeding age. I don't care if it's on OFA or if anything but Hips and Elbows are for my girls. I want it for my own knowledge. If any were to wind up being carriers then I will then only use tested stud dogs.

I'm hearing entirely too much about affected older pups with HNPK, I don't want to have a litter with affected puppies at 6 to 12 mos.
