In reply to PAM TAYLOR. Thank you so much Pam, I can't tell you how much that means to me. Please keep up the good work your organization is doing for the Doberman breed, it really does make a positive impact on the breed we are all so in love with.

In reply to Doug. I'd give them a ring and ask what happened. But no, you only need one physical swab per dog and only need to swab one cheek per dog.

Thanks for this recommendation. I got my test kit’s in the mail today (I ordered 2 for both my girls). They came in an envelope, not a box. My question though is that they sent 4 test kits. Am I suppose to swab both cheeks? Or did they mess up and send me extra?

When I purchased my first Doberman from a responsible show breeder in 1981, I felt that no one knew less about dogs, and Dobermans in particular, than I. I gained an outstanding education from the start, from her breeders, dog trainers, the area Doberman Pinscher Club and more. Within several months, I realized not all puppy buyers I met had received education and mentoring, and that kindled my interest in helping Dobermans and their owners. I founded Doberman Pinscher Rescue of PA, Inc. in 1989. Trish Gilberti Labelle shared your comprehensive overview of the Doberman with our board, and I compliment you on your achievement! Your writing, organization, advice and recommendations reflect great clarity and insight, and I wanted to congratulate and thank you for this much-needed work!
