*What is "clear by parentage"? This means that both parents were clear of a disease (they did not have any copies of the allele for a given disease). When this happens, the puppies cannot have inherited that particular gene because it did not exist in the parents - there was nothing to pass down. Therefore, for example, if neither parent has a copy of the gene for PRCD, then the puppies won't either. When this is the case, it is unnecessary to genetically test for that particular disease as the puppies are "clear by parentage". This is the reason you will see some of the genetic reports with only one or two diseases tested. The rest of the testing was unnecessary because the parent did not have any copies and therefore I didn't have to test for that particular gene. Please note that "cleared by parentage" ONLY applies to genetic testing. A puppy cannot be "cleared by parentage" for orthopedic nor eye testing.
