I LOVED Corona just from the pics! He seemed to have such a presence about him! But I always love big tank-like boys! lol I hear ya Shanley, we went through all the same concerns your mom is having. It sucks having everything else be perfect and then there's "just this one little thing." I don't know if I truly trust the TgAA thing, but it's all we've got to test young animals. It's included in the OFA thyroid panel, and it should at least give you an idea of whether the dog is a carrier or not. My dog's sire did have some thyroid issues later in life, but the sire is from an old school breeder who never tested for it and kept it pretty quiet. You just make the best decisions you can based on the info you have...
