Golden Retrievers

Drover has been tested through Embark for over 220 diseases and is clear for all those genetic health conditions.  He is a carrier for  a common condition in Retrievers called Ichthyosis.   We have done the extensive DNA testing on him.  He is a carrier of ichthyosis but since it is a recessive disorder as long as he is bred to a clear female  no puppies will have it.  If one parent is clear the pups cannot be affected.
