Here are some links to see what Medical DNA tests are available for your breed(s)
currently. Doing the DNA medical tests will help with future breedings to
screen for certain known genes that are linked to specific traits such as PRA,
CEA, CK, TNS, MDR, etc. and to help those looking for a puppy to know that their
puppy comes from lines that have been tested and either shown clear or that are
carriers.
At this site you can see a list of different tests and the labs doing the
testing

These are the links for the USA companies and the tests for certan breeds they
can currently do - your breed's parent organization is the one to encourage and
promote these tests so if you do not see your breed listed you may want to
contact your breed's parent club and inquire about getting things started.
