I am sorry to hear that, Margaret. That is unfortunate. At the same time I think what you are experiencing in the R&W goes to show that we with Irish Reds should not just rely on the DNA test. There could be other problems out there and they need to be caught before they become a problem. So I do think we need to get our dog's eyes checked regularly.

Just spoke on the phone to one of the researchers at the AHT. The form of LOPRA in IRWS is NOT the same as in Irish Setters (they have tried the Irish Setter DNA test on some affected and clear IRWS) so we wont be able to use the same DNA test unfortunately

<p>The Gordon Setter breeders seem to be working out a sensible strategy, accepting they will have to use carriers in their breeding, otherwise they will lose too much of their gene pool, but by breeding clear to carrier, and testing the progeny,they can gradually reduce the number of carriers, and eliminate affected dogs</p>
<p>They are NOT asking the KC to stop registering the progeny of carriers</p>

Thank you Viviane. If it is assumed that as much as 50% of Gordon Setters are carriers it will take some years and careful breeding to clear this. Let us hope we don't have the same percentage in IS. If we do then I am sure we will remain level headed about this.
