DROP OF BLOOD FOR SCIENCE !

Pikkanan Brown Ivanka donated blood to research of liver colour gene with griffons. In Holland in GENETIC COUNSELLING SERVICES (www.gencouns.nl/engcoat.php) received the sample of Ivanka in january 2009 and they were able to validate a test for griffons. So now it is possible to test a griffon that is it a liver colour gene carrier or not. Two griffons from Finland are already tested with this test and the result was that they are not carriers of liver colour. So the test actually works !

CONGRATULATIONS TO DEMO-BOY !!

He had his 13th birthday 22.10.2008.As You can see he is still very attentive and much loved pet with family Pitkänen.
