Hi to all!!! I want to publicly acknowledge the hard work done by Heather. Without it, all this would not be possible, hopefully it be productive for something. Heather suffered much with what happened. As far as Im concerned, I want to thank all the people who called me and inquired about me and my dogs. Similarly I also thank all those known and my friends are not interested in what was happening, I know perfectly well that it was in most cases for FEAR. Fear of what might happen, better to be on the sidelines and do not ask, do not go to be ... also I understand them... After the opinion of many people regarding concerns, the RD, I began to have doubts about the test, I am not saying its wrong, but I started to have doubts while and hopefully in the future we will have available is a genetic test to identify the sick dogs. What is clear that this test does not serve as a screening tool and breed, many dogs are homozygous and none of these dogs have a single symptom. The method of selection, in my opinion, has to remain we have for many other diseases. Neither can we remove from breeding a dog when given a litter problem, it would be unfair and is not what scientists recommend. Its quite another thing when a female repeats a problem or it happens to a male repeatedly, What is clear, is that when, for example, a male gives a serious recurring problem in many litters, it has no justification whatsoever to continue pairing that dog, especially when these diseases are serious or very serious. (for example UE or RD) I think the path is started, this group may in the future serve to bring together information about the disease (UE and RD), news that appear, notices laboratories are doing investigations and we can send test of sick dogs that are affected, etc. Because it is clear that we as breeders golden retriever, we have collaborate on what we can with the knowledge and investigation, all hope that in future, other breeders that succeed us, can inherit a healthier breed. The breeders whose sole purpose is to make money, have no place here. This group may also be the meeting point for other disease, ectopic ureter, because in dogs have not proven relationship, many of us think that may be related, in fact the human race are know that there is a relationship . Thank you very much to all for your time and do not hesitate to write here for any news that may be of interest to all. Sorry for my bad English. Jota
