It's 180.00 for the DNA test which isn't too terribly high, I had my vet draw the blood- that was 26.00 and it was around 15.00 to send it 2 day air by UPS.

I think the question, should be if a dog is affected with CEA should it be
breed at all. Many dogs with this show no side effects and there is no way
of knowing if the dog has it without testing. If I knew my dog had CEA with
no sypmptoms I do not think I would be breeding that dog.
