Hi,

One question that I asked at the ACES meeting was -

If I bring along a litter of 6-8 week old puppies for testing and advise
that I do not want to be tested under the ACES scheme, would they still do
the test? The answer I received was NO. So much for a voluntary scheme.

Every australian AVA opthomologist is a member of this scheme so there is no
other eye specialist than I can use without going to one of the "ACES"
specialists.

I do hope that what we discuss on this list stays on the list as well.
Other discussions that took place on a sheltie list were forwarded to Dr
Robertson.

Regards

Jackie Knight
