Background
The Combination Pack Hair Length covers several important traits and can be based on samples from animals at any age. Information on individual tests is available at our website. This Combination Package contains the following markers: ? K461 Hair Length Maine Coon ? K462 Hair Length Norwegian Forest ? K463 Hair Length Ragdoll ? K466 Hair Length all breeds A small possibility exists that one or two tests which are part of a combination package will not provide results. Because of the low pricing of the combination packages, we cannot retest a single marker if this marker fails in a combination package.If a particular test is highly important to you, we recommend that you order such a marker as a single test in our webshop. If needed, repeated testing is routinely performed on all single tests without extra costs.Please refer to our FAQ-section for a further explanation.
