We will be taking a winter break from July 6-19 (NSW school hols). You can still place orders now, and also while we are on break. If we receive but don't finish testing your samples they will be first in line when we re-open.
Coat length L2 (L2)
Summary
Most long-haired dogs carry the common (L1) version of the length gene. Dogs with Akita, Siberian husky or Samoyed breeding can carry L2 instead or as well as L1.
The common (L1) and L2 length tests are both included in our shedding panel. Long hair on the couch is much more obvious than short hair!
