Karen,

It looks like it to me, but I want to hear what others have to say, especially those that base their programs on PRA status. I have reserved my opinions on it all along based on understanding genetic problems and the fact that we can only know about 1 cord to date. Not to say that I would intentionally mate a known PRA or carrier to another, though. So, I consider myself cautiously optimistic when it comes to PRA. At any rate, I do trust the info that comes out of the UK on this subject because they have done so much intense research on it. I have just always believed there are more answers out there to be discovered. We all have our ways of incorporating currently known research in our programs, as a perogative. But, I believe we all should keep up to date on the current findings, JMHO

Thank You Deb....you are wonderful!!
I haven't done PRA yet since it was so contraversy. I would rather do eye cerf's at the dog shows and go with that. JMHO on this matter! All my show dogs will be eye cerf'd!!
