No, I know for sure it is not validated for the CSV in the US (nothing is, yet ). The test here requires a deceased dog that is a suspected carrier to have it's spinal cord examined, so I think it (hopefully!) may never happen. http://offa.org/dnatesting/dmotherbreeds.html

Still, the same test is used for every breed (OFA), so I think I will have the test done, anyways - and once the test is validated in Europe, I will have some results to compare.

Thanks again - and good luck finding volunteers!
