Labrador Panel - Genetic Testing
Paw Print Genetics is based in the US in Spokane, Washington. www.pawprintgentics.com
In our opinion, if you come across any breeder who says genetic health testing is a scam, don’t walk but RUN FAR IN THE OTHER DIRECTION! You cannot tell if a dog is a genetic carrier of a disease by just looking at them! Two carriers paired together will produce pups that will have that disease.
These are the tests Paw Print Genetics performs for the Labrador Retriever breed.
