Copied from other topic: There is a tendency on the part of too many oldies to assume prior knowledge, but I don't believe that the history of BD2 is not well understood as the information is readily available to those who seek it. (DCAI: There is no regulatory requirement for Chondrodysplasia testing until an application for multiple ownership registration is made at which time the requirements of all regulations pertaining to multiple ownership come into effect.) There is obviously no requirement for the multiply owned animal to be free of chondro, just that all owners are informed of the chondro status of the animal they own shares in. Testing for BD2 is not warranted if the animal is not descended from Meadowpark Charles. Testing for BD2 in any Dexter who does not have Meadowpark Charles breeding would be a futile excercise. (DCAI: 6.1.7 All bulls being registered must be free of the Pulmonary Hypoplasia and Anasarca(PHA) gene through genetic testing of the animal or its antecedents. An annotation of “Free by Inheritance” in the Herdbook means that the genetic testing of antecedents proves the animal to be free of the gene.) PHA is not just a status requirement. Only PHA-free bulls will be accepted for registration in Australia. Margaret Weir

For general information, the only others to test would be relatives from down the mitochondrial line, but there are no other descendants from that line behind Meadowpark Charles registered with DCAI. Margaret

KansasDexters you cant have your cake and eat it too. How many times has following posts commented that “you believe everything you read on the net” and “there is so much information around on the net that one would be silly to believe it all” ? Hence why I asked the question here, yes, after my research on the net, for verification in what I had read. WagraDexters – nice to have some quotes from a herdbook that hasn’t been available online for months now. (I dont keep piles of paper) The information provided here was great and I do thank you – it is very nice to know one has the truth of history and isn’t going off on a tangent.

outofthebox, When the source of the information on the internet is the New Zealand Dexter Cattle Society, I think that you can be confident that you've found a credible source of information on the subject. Here is a link to even more good reading for you: www.dexter-cattle.co.nz/news-and-linksPatti
