This message is posted at the request of the International Sheep Dog Society - ISDS on October 27, 2005.

For OptiGen CEA/CH results to be recorded by the ISDS for dog registration purposes, the following requirements must be met:

a) Blood samples must be taken and shipped by a staff member of a nationally registered veterinary clinic with the clinic stamp applied to the Sample Submission Form.

b) The dog owner should present to the clinic the ISDS Registration Certificate for inspection and verification.

c) The dog must have a microchip fitted and the clinic must verify and record that number as well as the ISDS Number.

d) The Sample Submission Form must be copied and a copy sent by the owner to the ISDS with the test result when received. A copy of the test result report is sufficient, the OptiGen Certificate should not be sent.

If you have questions, please contact the ISDS.
