A is normal/clear, B carrier, C genetically ill.
A + & means that dog is automatically classified normal, because both parents are tested normal.
C+PRA means, that PRA has been found both in DNA-test and in eye-examination)
(koira = dog, isä = sire of the dog, emä = mother of the dog)

Maria. This problem came to be noticed in miniature long hair,and testing has been done for a few years. About 2/3 years ago it was found to be in miniature smooths. There has never been any evidence of blindness but it could cause blindness.
The website that quincasois has shown has so far been the most detailed. I thank quincasois very much.

As far as I know, it hasn´t been proved, that the same gene would appear in standards.

In Russia we standarts with mini dachshunds in pedigree, also I know standart longhaired dachshunds not only in Russia and in Europe also with mini in pedigree, so standarts may also has such problems from mini. Or may be I dont understand clear what you said  |

Maria. The only way to know if standards have or not have PRA is to have a standard tested. Mini long hair have had it for a number of years,but only came to be known in mini smooths 2/3 years ago,but that does not mean it was there longer than that. Wow for Kisa from Civic.

MVDr. Petr Gbelec
MVDr. Pavel Hron
MVDr. Vladimír Knapík
MVDr. Barbara Lenská
MVDr. Petr Raušer Ph.D.
MVDr. Petr Staòa
MVDr. Pavla Trnková

I have meant for DNA testing is there a list of laboratories who perform such test.
How do You take a sample - is it blood, is it tissue scrape or something else. How do You send it....
A lot of questions, I know, but I'm interested in it.

As far as I know you can only have the DNA test for Cord 1 done in England and in Finland. Have a look at the homepage of the Finnish Dachshund Club!
In Sweden we have a health program for all Dachshund varieties concerning the "old" PRA, not Cord 1. But we don't have a DNA test, we have to go to the vet and have the dog's eyes scanned maximum a year before breeding.
In the US I believe that Cord 1 has been found in all Dachshund varieties.

The same in Czech Republic, we have only the "old" type of examining, except that it is not obligatory for breeding.

The Animal Health Trust in the UK do DNA test and we in Ireland can use them. They send you swabs and it is taken from the mouth. They email you the results and send a certificate by post. This is done for cord1. The cost is £47. For more information you email to them at this address.dna.testing@aht.org.uk

It is now also possible to test officialy in Norway, we have a registered DNA test with the Kennel Club. Tests are done by vet here and sent to either AHT or Optigen. It is not required, but you get an official result now.
Only to bad I then have to test all my dogs once more to get the result in the Norwegian dogbase with the Kennel Club.
We can test standards, but they will not be registered at this point. The reason is that they do not crossbreed with sizes in the UK, but in Norway we can, so as Maria say, the gene may just as well be in the standard lines.
