Re: [labradoodles] genetic test.

[Ron & Holly Miller]

Carla   Of course testing is expensive, however so is refunding the money that a family paid for a puppy 2 years later.  And the expense to "fix" that puppy is very, very expensive.  I too live in a rural area, but I shopped around and found a vet in a completely different state that does PennHIP at a reasonable price, however I still pay over $300.00 for it - but this does offer me some piece of mind that I am doing everything possible to provide health puppies.   Holly ----- Original Message ----- From: Carla To: labradoodles@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 8:52 AM Subject: Re: [labradoodles] genetic test. I live in Texas and locally it is not done. I'd have to go to Dallas where is was told to me 300 or more...the vet here can certify a dog doesn't have it, but not OFA and Dallas was the closest eye exam I could find too and very expensive...you did see where I decided not to breed again, right...I was uniformed and the market is saturated...It was irresponsible, but I have 5 labradoodles whom I love dearly, who will never see a shelter and are loved.
