It's really nice to see people from Europe are also using this organization - normal results are automatically posted, and owners have the choice of submitting abnormal results (it's not required).

Congratulations Sarka! And thank you!

Did you used a FTA card or you sent a blood sample?
This price is much more acessible for me, and with the FTA card everything gets more easy for long trips.

Hey Paula!

I have only just ordered the tests (they will come by mail). They are FTA - using the saliva/cheek cells. Shipping was included with my order - but maybe it is different to a different country. There is one owner from Germany who has used this test, and is listed in the database - clear results. Maybe they have more details on ordering internationally. I ordered the test from this link:
https://secure.offa.org/cart.html

I wish the same kind of test was available for dwarfism...that's a very expensive test for me, I think, to send blood to Europe.

Let me know if I can help you!

Marcy - please let us know when you get the results so we know if we need to test Luna or not. If I remember correctly it didn't take long from ordering the test to getting the results.

It's a blood or saliva (FTA card) genetic test - there are no alternatives. One option is to order the test from this website:
https://secure.offa.org/cart.html

The cost is US$65 + small cost to ship the test card overseas and back - the same weight and size as a standard letter. This test uses saliva, not blood, so it doesn't need the same amount of careful preservation of blood. If the results are normal, they are posted publicly in the offa.org database. If the dog is carrier or at risk/affected, it is the owner's decision to post the results.
