At the request of the relevant breed clubs, the Kennel Club has recently approved official DNA testing schemes for PLL in the Tibetan Terrier and the Miniature Bull Terrier. These tests are offered by the Animal Health Trust - further details can be obtained from www.aht.org.uk.

Copies of all future test certificates issued by the AHT will be sent directly to the Kennel Club where the test result will be added to the dog’s details on the registration database.  This will trigger the publication of the test result in the next available Breed Records Supplement, and the result will also appear on any new registration certificate issued for the dog and on the registration certificates of any future progeny of the dog.

For further information on this scheme please contact Professor Jeff Sampson at jeff.sampson@thekennelclub.org.uk.
