Just sent Murphy's DNA sample off to the University of Liverpool . Can't find the original thread but am mentioning this to remind everyone to partcipate in the study. :beer:

Me too Deb.. This would be the one time he did not have a lot of saliva in his blubbery lips.

I got a chuckle when I read that!!! You do have to wonder why some dogs seem to have the problem and some do not. What few dogs I know that did have the injury, it seems to get both legs eventually. I always wondered diet as opposed to genetics.

I too received word that both Phoebe and Rhayni's samples were received. Did any of you have trouble mailing yours back? My post office made me sent it registered mail and it took them about 45 minutes to reach that conclusion - ugh! Kim

I didn't have any trouble sending...it was actually cheaper than sending to the states if you can believe it.
I'm impressed with this study so far, as it's the only one that actually asks if there was trauma. I think there is a genetic base to some cruciate ruptures, but if they do not have any way of differentiating whether or not there was known trauma...they cannot unravel it. Some dogs may not have the "genetics" to have it, and yet still have a traumatic event that they end up with a rupture. And without that information..they will never identify something in "common" because some dogs that DID just have an injury will skew the results.
