Tigger, Winnie, Viva, GiGi, Bosley & Rupert were all tested this month for Myostatin Deficiency (the bully gene) and all were N/N (normal - not carriers) which makes all of the Bosley x Winnie and Bosley x Raku puppies N/N by default!!! Joanne also tested Marseille (Sweet Pea x Blaze) Aren (a Murphy son), Avery (Brooks daughter) and Kira (mother to Avery) and all were also N/N
Helen was BAER tested - normal
Leigh was CERF'd again - normal

And I didn't mention (I don't think I did anyways) the health testing done at the National in April. Leo was BAER, CERF & Cardiac tested, all normal. Brom was CERF & BAER tested, all normal & Magnum was BAER, CERF & Cardiac tested, all normal!!!!

Fingers crossed & knock on wood - we have yet to run into any health problems!!! We have been extremely lucky and we hope it continues :)

Well, I think that's about it for the month of May - let's see what June brings!
