Topic: GOOD NEWS - PLL Gene Mutation has been found

[RickmanHall]

Hello Joe,
Why is there such difference for at risk (by you about 9%, by OFA 13%)? That do you think about it?

[ChaosEmpire]

OFA stats contain all tested dog results
OFA only publishes in their database ALL free, and if you checked the permission check box, they also publish the carrier/at risk cases

Not all people check this box
Begin of this week there were ~80 dogs not published

AHT does not publish stats, so I dont know how many dogs are already tested
I expect also the values a little bit better there, cause more interbreds get tested there

My database contains all published data (that I found, so mainly based on some forum and direct eMail)
When I copy data from OFA database, I get all the free, but not all carrier/at risk

result..my percentage looks better than they are in fact
therefore i also quote the stats from america, so anyone can see the difference...

Thanks Joe,
How do you estimate our breed dogs quantity now?
What do percentage have DNA test already?

[ChaosEmpire]

The quantity of breed dogs would be the same as before
you even CAN breed an AT RISK dog
The question is, will you do that...

What do percentage have DNA test already?
Good question...based on dogs in breeding, retired breed dogs, or all dogs...

Will every breeder test their dogs?
Will all owners test their dogs
Will older dogs get tested too?
Will affected dogs get re-tested to see if they are really affected by PLL

If you can answer any of this question, please tell me 6 numbers between 1-49 and I will play lotteries this weekend

I even cant assume a percentage for this, but I surely will only breed with tested dogs

[RickmanHall]

No, Joe.
I have asked about estimation of quantity of dogs in breed.
I am interested about statistics reliability.

Have you made any statistical updates recently?
You used to have the OFA and AHT numbers also in the database, but I can't find it anymore? Has it been removed or am I blind?
