Required DNA Testing for Tonkinese

Please make sure you read the current Registration Policy before registering any of your Tonkinese as Active.
The Tonkinese Registration Policy requires a number of mandatory tests in order to preserve the genetic health of the breed.


Is your queen positive for PRA, PKDef, GM2, Burmese Head Defect and/or HK?  This does NOT mean that you cannot continue to breed from them, it just means that you must not mate them with a cat that is also positive for the same.  Testing gives you the reassurance that your kittens will be safe, and with responsible breeding we can avoid these problems in our breed.

You can request a DNA swab test kit (which includes the swab, return envelope and submission form) along with the current test price list from the Langford Veterinary Lab web site . At the time of writing (2019/2020) the fee for 6 tests per cat, with the TBC 20% discount, is £91.68p incl. VAT,. Note: this does not include Micro-chipping or vet fees.  Do visit the Langford web site for full information before arranging a test.

TBC members may contact the Club Secretary for our discount code for the Langford DNA test facility.
