Stitch Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 The title says it all! Can anyone tell me what kind of test is it and where is it done?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
periannath Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 You cannot get the test done in Australia. We were running minibulls through for research but unfortunately that has ended now. The AHT in the UK and the OFA in the USA conduct the test which is a simple cheek swab kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 So is this something that can be bought overseas, imported into Australia & be easily read here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniluv Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 You can get onto the AHT UK or OFA USA website and order the test kits online, they then send you the kit. You or your vet can take the swab and send it back to them. I just had a litter of 4 Mini's done and it took about 3 weeks for my results to come back. They email you your results with a certificate to follow in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 That sounds good. I have found a website - Orthopedic Foundation for Dogs in USA - is that the one you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniluv Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Sorry should have added that bit, I used the Animal Health Trust UK. However another Mini Breeder friend of mine used the OFA around the same time and the turn around time for results were very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
