| Someone somewhere with some dog club is almost always holding a VetGen clinic. All you need to do at any time is contact VetGen and ask them who is having a clinic. They'll tell you if you ask. | |

| | GranDoberFather  | Is this appropriate for a puppy? I mean is there a minimum age?

 | Should I do both my pups (from same litter) or could the results be different for each?

| You have to do each dog, since it is a DNA test.... every pup in a litter may have completely different results. Unless you know parents were clear x clear (all pups clear) or affected x affected(all pups affected) you have to test to know for sure.
Edit: Clear x affected= all pups carriers
