The American Staffordshire Terrier is an intelligent, happy, outgoing, stable and confident dog. They are kind, fun, and extremely loyal and affectionate. Although they may seem stubborn, they are actually a compassionate and sensitive breed. Almost always obedient in order to please their master. This breed is also extremely brave and intelligent. On the other hand, early socialization is key to avoid any mistrust towards other dogs or humans.

We can offer the below tests for the American Staffordshire Terrier singularly or as combos or as included in the most comprehensive Panel “DogCheck 4.0”:

• Degenerative Myelopathy DNA Testing which is a screening test for your dog to determine if it carries the genes associated with Degenerative Myelopathy (DM). Click here to read more about the Degenerative Myelopathy Test Kit.
• Hyperuricosuria DNA Test for Uric Acid is a screening test for your dog to determine if it carries the mutated gene associated with Hyperuricosuria (HUU).

For the above tests, if done singularly or as combos, we offer the results in 7-10 working days from receipt of samples to the laboratory.

If they are all included in the most comprehensive test called “DogCheck 4.0“, which also gives information about coat colour traits, the turnaround is 3-4 weeks from receipts of the samples to the laboratory. Please refer to the list below to see all the genes tested in this case.

NOTE: There is an extra cost of £45 to test the genes mentioned on the table as *xP as they are not included in the Dog Check 4.0 Report unless the extra fee has been paid at the checkout.
