OKAY, so when I was taking Harley into the vets I had the vet look over Dakota-Lakin and as it turns out, he is NOT 100% Kuvasz. He has a tiny tiny tiny 0.01% lab in him. Oh well. He is 99.9% Kuvasz. They goy it from a blood test.

It's the first time I hear anything about blood test to determine breeds? That's interesting... Got more info?

 

[juliefurry]

how could they tell he had that little bit of lab in him? That's wierd. Oh well, you weren't going to show or breed him were you, since you didn't have his papers or anything. He'll still make a good pet for you or somebody if you rehome him.

 

[Sirius]

I don't know. My vet was like, oh... those blood tests? They show some lab in him. I was like... are you sure? And he's like, oh yeah.. and yes he will be a house pet. hm.. maybe I should get someone to confirm that?

 

[poeluvr]

that means his like great great great gret great granfather maybe was like a quarter labe but from then on his parents were bred with pure kusvas's , that is real strange!

Sorry, there is no such test. Your vet is lying to you plain and simple. There are DNA tests, but to able to preform them you need DNA from both parents. Plus, vets don't usually do these tests. I would get another vet. I worked in a clinic for 5 years and can assure you that there is no breed test!!!!

 

[Sirius]

i know, eh? Maybe the person who left him on my porch like, knew, and wanted to breed him or... show him, and then found out?

 

[Fran27]

It's what I thought too. I wouldn't go see that vet again.

 

[juliefurry]

it probably was not known that whoever had that .01 percent lab in them had it. Quite accidental though, probably an honest mistake.

Okay. I need a new vet. Good thing I have backup. Thanks showpug. By the way, did you see Ringo's picture?

 

[juliefurry]

I didn't think there was a test where you could prove the breed without having the parent's there.

Wish there was!!! But, there isn't! LOL!!

No, I would like to though. Where can I see the picture?

On another note, there is a good chance that vet feels strongly that your dog has a small amount of lab in him/her, so he may of just made up that statement to try and convince you of his/her opinion. Rotten

do u have any pictures of ur new guy sirius.
That is odd, even for a vet to say..there had to be reasoning behind it, a vet wouldnt say something like that with it not being true for no reason, whats it to him to say that?

Lea I feel like I am following you, really I am not.

I do not understand the blood test and breed thing either perhaps I mis read.

That is what I thought but it makes no sense to me a vet lying but it sure is not unheard of either!

 

[Melissa_W]

What? lol! That is so weird. Are you sure he wasn't kidding or something?

 

[poeluvr]

yea maybe he was like thinking he looked a bit labbish..and you said how much ..so he said i onno(laughed) probably like 1 percent..?

 

[yuckaduck]

If he said the blood test showed .1 % lab then he is not joking and I would be looking for a new vet fast!
