Our own Rufus Irish Terriers are all tested from the foundation bitch on and have normal test results since the begin 20 years ago and up to now all had a normal result = non cystinuric . This is a blessing , but also a good information about the health of the breeding stock, if only clear results come, also from offspring of Byron ( incl his litters with Lotti= linebreeding on Rufus line) all tested Irish Terriers have normal range results.

This does NOT mean, that they are no carriers of the gene. This isn´t possible to determine yet , as no marker gene testings exist. In the USA the worldknown expert Prof Dr U Giger works also on finding a test for Irish , but it seems not that easy as he succeeded with 3 other breeds, Irish Terriers seem to have another sort of cystinuria, different from the other breeds.

These pics of a surgery of the bladder to extract 2 cystine stones may tell you more than many words, why passionate and responsable breeders do test their terriers!

This 2 y old Irish Terrier ( in a foreign country) suffered from bloody urine and pain, watch the structure of the stone!
