BAER testing in Utah
|
|
It's probably economics more than anything. The testing equipment is expensive!!! (the tester was just telling me what he had paid for his new/upgraded equipment as one of my boy puppies decided to play doggie rodeo on the table with the little electrodes in his ears  ) so you tend to find it offered more commonly in more metropolitan/populated areas where it is more apt to pay for itself (eventually). I don't know your area at all, but have you given the vet school a call (do you have one?)
No, of course you can't be expected to commute 20 hours to get their hearing checked! But it's also not something you can have a regular vet do and send the tracings in for interpretation because the vet would have to have the equipment (as well as the know-how) to begin with. Well done on finding a cardiology clinic! I'll ask on the showdogs list if somebody knows about BAER testing in your area and report back if I find out anything. Surely there must be some reputable dalmation breeders around and I can't imagine them breeding blind, eh, very bad pun, but you know what I mean.

| Any vet schools around? I know many vet schools have the equipment, and can be decently priced due to donations. |

Colorado State University (CSU) in Ft. Collins is our closest veterinary school. It’s one of the finest schools in the country, but to get there, it is a very long 9-hour drive across southern Wyoming. It's not nearly as much fun as it sounds. |
| Yeah - you appear to be correct
I've had three responses - all forwarding the same list I use, none from breeders actually IN Utah. Someone suggested Nevada. My grasp of geography AND hers is equally pathetic though - we both admitted to that 
I know there are other parts of the country that are similarly challenged. I still say you can't be expected to drive 10 hours each way with a litter of puppies. I drove 90 mins each way with a litter of eight week old puppies and though the drive itself wasn't bad, managing eight bored puppies - yeow! Never again on my own. What was I thinking?
