Kathy, I sure didn't mean to indicate it isn't a godsend or fantastic! Of course it is. I just meant… well as the Arabs say, Trust in G-d but tie your camel. Get the testing, use it to help guide breeding, retest if necessary, but keep doing the strip test. It's an easy if annoying process that protects your dog against testing errors or human errors.
My Fanconi Results
-
Just had the results back.
Chance is Clear!!!!
Nakura is Carrier!!!
I'm gutted that Nakura is a carrier, especially for her breeder, but I know now that I will need to make an extra effort to find her an extra special 'clear' boyfriend.
Nakura is Chance's mother so I'm extra delighted that he is clear.

Good results, you must be pleased.

Great news for Chance, sorry about Nakura. I assume that if her boyfriend is clear any Pups would be as well?
Still trying to get my head around all this Fanconi buisiness. -
The sire's not tested and not likely to get tested. But he could either be clear or a carrier. I've just arranged to get Trouper (Chance's brother) tested too so that would give a better indication of what the sire is.
Now I've just got to find a good Clear dog to use at stud on Nakura. -
Thanks Vicky. At least Nakura hasn't got the disease herself.
-
Congrats on finally getting the news. I am sorry to hear about Nakura, but at least she is not affected. Good for Chance.

Still trying to get my head around all this Fanconi buisiness.carrier x clear = 50% carrier 50% clear
clear x clear = 100% clear
affected x affected = 100% affected
affected x clear = 100% carrier
affected x carrier = 50 % affected 50 % carrier
carrier x carrier = 50% carrier 25 % affected 25 % cleartheoritically ofcourse in a clear x carrier mating in practice can give you all carriers or all clears, but with these % you know your chances

Thanks for the info ibi n sane

Brilliant news, fingers crossed for Trouper now!
-
That's good news about Chance Vicky. At least you know you have to find a nice clear boy for Nakura now. You must be relieved.

Chance is Nakura's son so can't use him! The search continues. We need to encourage more people to test are there are only about 6 clear stud dogs in UK at moment. So not much too choose from there!!
