Hi Hanka,
I know this is a problem and I already talked about it to the University. There is the possibility to get money out of research funds (this would be a good point for Clubs to care about) and it may be possible to get a cheaper price.
But DNA-testing is expensive especially when you talk about getting a new test. At this point they want only 24 blood samples to have a look at it, and I think not at least to find out if the people of this breed are caring enough to get things running. To store a blood sample there costs only 7,-- Euros what is not astronomic. When we have 24 dogs for this they will tell us the price for the whole evaluation and for the later on tests - again there is no test now for our breed, only for GSD it is the same situation like with the Dwarf test some month ago.
I think the best way will be to start to collect people that are willing to join in the project, then talk to the laboratory again showing that we are now able to do the first step and ask them what costs there will be coming. We can do that without sending the blood samples already, then we will be able to get more informations about how to carry on and what costs will occure apart from 7 Euro.
