You are right Laboklin needs 2 ml EDTA blood!
Unfortunately in "dog world" and "breeding world of all kind of animals" a lot of people are cheating with info and pedigrees
That is why we in de past with Laboklin did make specific blood sample forms.
So we could be sure that all the info of CsW's was correct.
The veterinarian has to check the chip or tatoo (comparing with the number on the pedigree) and his to confirm and sign the blood is of that specific dog.
And then the vet has to send the tube with 2 ml EDTA blood (and the form and copy of the pedigree) to Laboklin.
The vet can send this by normal mail with normal stamp (in a common envelop with bubble plastic inside)
But.... like everyone, a lab wants to earn as much money as possible....
That is why Laboklin (like more commercial labs) also accept a swab that is send by an owner (without checking any chip or tatoo number!)
This is a pitty... because then it is possible to cheat
Don't misunderstand me: I don't say that people who did send a swab for DM test are cheating!!
I only try to explain why I think it is trickey to send swabs.
And that is why I prefer (and would like for future) every owner of a CsW to send 2 ml EDTA blood by his veterinarian for DNA tests
Then we always can be sure the results are realy of that CsW.
