Will a registry of test results be established similar to the prcd-PRA registry?
YES. The HGC of the NSDTRC (USA) will be establishing a registry for dogs in the US. This will include all Tollers that are determined to be normal and will include information from dogs that are carriers or affected with owner permission. OptiGen will forward normal results to the club registry directly, however they will not release carrier or affected results to us. It would be up to each owner to submit their results with permission for us to post them to our registry. This information will be available from the NSDTRC (USA) website from a link on the Health & Genetics page. The results will not be available until the end of the second quarter after June 30, 2006. Meanwhile, speak directly to the breeder to find out about the CEA status of a particular dog or puppies.
