Are there any breeders out there with negative atadenovirus colonies? If there are I can't find them on the net.

Hello,
So far, there are not any all negative breeders here in the US. There was one awhile back, but she stopped breeding.
Most breeders don't bother with testing, unfortunately. I wish that more would test but maybe in the future more will come on board with testing.

Thanks. I believe I can safely assume that a high percentage of dragons in the US are atadenovirus positive and the ones who aren't probably will be with cross contamination. So I will look no further for breeders with negative colonies.
Hello,
Well, I wouldn't give up on negative colonies. I do come in contact with people who talk about trying to get a negative colony, so hopefully one of these days things will change.
There are a good number of negatives, per information from the lab though. If people are careful there wont be any contamination rates but you have to be vigilant & use care when bringing another dragon into the home.
I will never give up though & hope to have some breeders on board one day.

Hopefully, but you are a little more optimistic about people than I am. The whole lack of concern by breeders is baffling. They seem to think the only thing atadenovirus does is kill off hatchlings with an active infection and if their adeno positive hatchlings make it then they are in the clear. What about 3 years down the road? Not the same but it reminds me of diabetes. Many people are just so used to it they no longer worry about trying to prevent it through diet and don't seem all that concerned when first diagnosed. It's not until they face losing a limb that it becomes real.
