I was just wondering if anyone can tell me their experiences of PRA Cord 1 and Laforas in other countries. We have both in our dachshund population in the UK and it is something most reputable breeders are working hard to eradicate.
We are able to test for the PRA Cord 1 via an animal Health Trust where you can order the test kits (a mouth swab) and the results are published on the Kennel Club website.
At the moment the only tests for the Lafora (via a blood test) are having to be sent to Canada.
If you have any experience of these two diseases or can tell me the prevalence where you are I would be very interested.
