IN 2000 I BEGAN SCANNING MY CATS FOR PKD
THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN TESTED RESULTS ARE POSTED
BELOW THE CAT ONES WHO HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED
BECAUSE OF AGE OR TIMING ARE NOT MARKED
 I WILL BE UPDATING THIS INFORMATION AS I WORK
MY WAY THROUGH TESTING ALL OF MY CATS
UPDATE!!!
I AM VERY PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT
AS OF MAY 13, 2004 ALL OF MY BREEDING CATS
ARE NOW EITHER TESTED PKD NEGATIVE OR
ARE FROM PKD TESTED PARENTAGE!!!!
I STILL HAVE A FEW NEW ADDITIONS FROM OTHER CATTERIES
WHO NEED TO BE CONFIRMED ONCE THEY REACH A YEAR OF AGE
THEY WILL ALSO BE TESTED PRIOR TO ANY BREEDINGS BEING COMPLETED
UPDATE!!!
I HAVE NOW TESTED MY NEW ADDITIONS OF UNKNOWN OR
UNCONFIRMED PKD STATUS BY WAY OF THE NEW PKD DNA TEST!
SO WE ARE NOW A COMPLETELY PKD TESTED CATTERY
MANY ARE STILL ULTRASOUND TESTED BUT NOW WE ALSO HAVE
QUITE A FEW THAT ARE DNA TESTED AS WELL AS ULTRASOUND. WE PLAN TO
WORK OUR WAY THROUGH TESTING BY WAY OF DNA
ALL OF OUR PREVIOUSLY ULTRASOUND NEGATIVE CAT/LINES
UPDATE!!!
WE ARE WELL ON OUR WAY TO BEING 100% PKD DNA TESTED NOW!
IT WAS SURPRISING TO US (TO SAY THE LEAST) THAT SEVERAL
OF OUR ULTRASOUND NEGATIVE TESTED FOUNDATION CATS
WERE, OR HAD TO BE PKD DNA POSITIVE!
SEVERAL OF THOSE CATS WERE TESTED DIRECTLY
AND OTHERS, BY PROCESS OF ELIMINATION WE KNOW
HAD TO BE DNA POSITIVE! IF ANYONE WHO HAS ACQUIRED
A CAT FROM ME PRIOR TO THE DNA TESTING WISHES TO KNOW
IF THE PKD DNA STATUS OF THE PARENTS OF THOSE CATS IS KNOWN
THEY ARE WELCOME TO CONTACT ME DIRECTLY.
