Because Johnny's, Rio's, and Vegas's sire
Ch Korella Royal Command "Dallas"
(import Australia) is AFFECTED by CEA
though he obtained a CERF NORMAL
CERTIFICATE when we used him, all his offspring
will be genetic carriers and may only be bred to
DNA tested normal Border Collies. 
Rio's and Vegas's mom, Daily is Optigen DNA tested normal.  We hope that breeders and fanciers will be
sensible in using this information to breed
wisely, still striving for sound, typey dogs,
and not use this information as a way to
destroy one another. 
Email us for more information.

We are pleased to announce that
Ch Darkwind Legacy of Ewe, Darkwind Masquerade, Darkwind Heather's Lace, Darkwind Dances On Clouds, Ch Darkwind's Bit of Lace, Ch Darkwind Persephone, Ch Dreamworks Echo of Darkwind, Ch Darkwind Mirage of Blackrock (Jet) and his sister Ch Darkwind Tropical Fun at Blackrock (Mango) have been Optigen CEA tested as DNA homozygous normal.  We have a number of carriers of course, given the situation with Dallas, but testing goes on.  Thanks to all the wonderful owners who have been so generous and supportive in getting the testing done.
