4 more tested AMS carriers, these won't be found on the cocker data base until all concerned have been notified.

Really sorry to hear that, lets hope they publish.

The database got a pedigree analysis function to compare pedigrees and search for the first common ancestors to, for example, trace genetic defects. Works if you are logged in, getting a log in is free.

Use it!

Does a vet have to be involved? I ask as it will probably double the cost of the test for me

A Buccal swab can be done by anyone, its just a cheek swab, not invasive although a Cocker might think it so!

Yes a vet has to do the swab test, check the microchip, stamp and sign the paperwork. My vet only charges about £10.

Thanks.

Just an aside, I have just been on the antagene site and it looks like they do 3 tests for 128 euro. Does anyone know if that means to can get FN, PRA and AMS done for that?
