Tracy,

 

I don’t understand how you come to the conclusion that cleared by parentage is not possible in a situation in which the test is for the specific mutation? If neither sire or dam carry the mutated gene, it is simply not possible for the offspring to be affected or to be carriers.

This is very good news. I wish it had come out when I was told on this list that my clear-by-parentage was not possible. I began testing clear offspring and throwing away money.

I should have stirred the pot sooner because my plea for clarification fell on deaf ears.

I know we all lead busy lives but this is a critical subject for breeders and proper communication is vital!

Will OFA be notified so they post the correct results?

Thank you (but I'm still a little po'd about this being ignored earlier),
