ALL dogs, in particular dogs sold as breeding stock, should be tested for Canine Brucellosis before being sold. If there is any way we can help you, please contact us. Nobody should have to put down dogs due to someone else's greed, neglect and sheer stupidity. Yes, I do agree.

My dog just tested positive for the first antibody test and her blood had to be sent to Cornell University for testing to confirm positive results. The only reason I know that my dog potentially has this bacteria is because I was going to breed her and had her tested. I may have to euthanize my dog and it is devistating. There should be equal legislation in all states that prevents people from selling dogs that have not been tested. It should be simple you would think, father and mother tests, the cost certainly doesn't compare to the profit the sellers will make and if they can not afford it, then they should not breed. In the case of people who cannot afford to test there could be a funded program. I'm working on this, seriously, this is a major, undiagnosed, unreported and unregulated issue, not to mention the disease in contractable to humans!
