Hello this is just out of a matter of interest , From one breeder to another
Do you guys get your Cats PKD Tested ( Polcystic Kideny Disease ) , This Question I suppose is more for Persian Breeders , I am going to insert a link to a site on PKD so you can read more about it , I personally don't get my cats PKD Tested but some of the kittens we have imported have been PKD tested and are Negative ( Positive means they have PKD and Negative means they don't ) , It is a fast killer and is not contagious its inherited by its Sire or Dam , In NZ it's really a big thing and people have had their whole Persian Cattery die from it, There is not much good Ultrasound Equipment here and not close enough , I also think its around $150 !! to get one cat tested , but I suppose in reality that's a good thing b'cause if you take the risk and sell a kitten with PKD to someone and they complain to the NZCF ( New Zealand Cat Fancy ) Then you can loose your Breeding Prefix
Interested in hearing your thoughts .
