So I checked the BCA site and there's a lot of links. I don't even know where to begin. I've had x rays and things of that nature done but nothing ever certified. I'd like to start health certification here pretty soon. Can anyone familiar with the process break it down for me so I have a clue as to where to start. Can most of these tests/x rays be performed by my regular vet? Keep in mind I'm fully aware that not everything shows up on these tests. Like if a family of dogs has a history for cancer, heart conditions, skin diseases, temperament, etc even though an immediate dog has passed an array of tests. Tests don't replace common sense but common sense tells me I probably want to combine the two.
Question about the trach cert. This is a test for trachea shape and diameter? Will this test reveal things such as elongated palette, enlarged tonsils, sacs etc? Does anyone have the size chart for results?
Also, I think there have been some questions raised about the legitimacy of some of these tests and or the people having them done or the people performing them. Is there some type of microchip or tattoo system in place? I know there are loop holes with everything but I'm just curious.
Anyhow, any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Scott
