We have completed testing of some of the samples you submitted for
TNS testing.
UNSW_ID BC5239
Dogs Name SHAMEFULCHOC FERRERO ROCHER
Microchip Number '956000001230042'
Registration No '4100163858'
DOB 18 Aug 2008
Sex M
Result TNS carrier
Date Tested 1/10/2009
This test is for inheritance of the TNS mutation. SHAMEFULCHOC
FERRERO ROCHER did inherit the TNS mutation from one of its
parents, RUNDERKRAAL FERRERO or CHARLSTUD HEAVENLY MISS.
Our advice is that you can still breed from TNS carriers. If you do,
it should be with a dog known to be clear of TNS and the pups should
be tested. In this way you can continue the line without having cases of TNS.
Since Ferrero Rocher is a carrier we would expect half of his offspring to be carriers if he was mated to Clear bitches.
If any of the bitches were carriers then there is a chance of affected offspring.
