New CHIC!

We have a new CHIC at Solid Gold! CHIC is a canine health foundation term and it gathers data on purebred dogs. Each parent club sets criteria for their breed and the Samoyed Club of America has decided that in order to be listed as a CHIC dog, the dog must have an OFA clearance for hips, a cardiac clearance, a current CERF (eye exam by a board certified specialist) and be certified clear of PRA which is an inherited eye disease. The PRA test is done via DNA from blood. I am excited to say that I just got back the results from Boston's PRA blood analysis so now she has met the qualifications for CHIC. Yeah!!
