This test is so flawed its laughable.
We know of dogs passed clear who have had the stones and needed them removing.
Sadly till this test is more reliable I wont be doing this test.

were the stones analysed ?

up to now the aht have had no information or feed back regarding the problem you've mentioned and if approached they will run the test again free of charge and have assured me they would be happy to help sort any problems out.
It would also be a idea to inform the kc and the breed council/club's....

until the rumours are substantiated with evidence and the evidence is given to relevant bodies (experts), i'd recommend others to follow the advice from the genetic experts like the AHT and the University of California (Davis) who both offer this dna test,
http://www.aht.org.uk/genetics_US.html

the kc who are supporting this dna test its on their web site and they will also supply a open data base and update registration documents,
http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/item/2691/pg_dtl_art_news/pg_hdr_art/pg_ftr_art

the bulldog breed council who as you know represent the breed clubs, recommend all dogs from lines affected with urate stone disease should be tested with the urate stone dna test to eradicate the problem................
http://www.bulldogbreedcouncil.co.uk/

so all the above are wrong ???

There is already a thread on the Health board on the subject of this DNA test for Bulldogs. Please continue the discussion there to avoid too much duplication.

Thanks
