Has anyone had theirs tested?

Someones wrote on a forum that their friends 6 month springer pup has just been diagnosed with AMS and has a low chance of surviving.

 

Sent off for a test to have my 4 month Cocker pup tested (£48) they can carry it as well and would like to know as would love a pup from him but won't if he carries it and i'll have him neutered .

True it's not exactly rife

 

 

We're going to get to the stage where we have a Big Boys (or Girls ;) ) book of health tests and conditions, giving us the ability to test for every condition that exists with no statistical analysis to describe the real risk of having a dog with a health condition. We may have all the health tests but risk losing sight of the qualities we want in a working dog because of it.

 

I'm not anti health testing, I have tested a dog of mine as you know, but I think the advances in modern science and the ability to give a condition a diagnosis and a name means we have tests for conditions which the vast majority are very unlikely to ever encounter unless very unlucky.
