Briddle Creek Working Terriers
September 3, 2009 marked a milestone for the Jack Russell.
A mutation that causes development of Primary Lens Luxation (PLL) in many breeds of dogs has been identified by a team of researchers led by Drs Gary Johnson & Elizabeth Giuliano at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. A DNA test for this mutation became available in mid-September 2009. For more information you can visit the Jack Russell Terrier Research Foundation website: www.jrt-research.com
I am in the process of getting DNA test results on all my terriers whose blood is in the RF DNA Bank, I will up date this page as I receive them. While I now own only a few of these terriers, as many have died, retired or been placed in pet homes, I owned them at the time the blood was donated and when aplicable I received permission to post their results.The terriers at the bottom of the list had their blood donated for research in the early/mid 1990's. I chose to include their test results in hopes that we may glean useful information from some of our terriers ancestors. I will continue to do testing on all terriers,* even those cleared by parentage, allowing all breeding stock to have their own PLL certificates.
