my boy Teddy vom Vinahaus is DM Carrier he is in training for his SCh title now and he will only breed to DM Clear females , i have 1 DM clear female and will also be having a DM clear litter this summer . i will say that the stud i am using is a Quenn/Vegas grand son. so maybe those lines are DM Clear.

I emailed the Pedigree Database a while back, suggesting they add DM as an option to the Health/Description section (where you can enter the HD info). They should also add Elbow status too, IMO.

GSD2727,

Thanks for the compliments :) The German Youth Universal Sieger is a competiton for Youth handlers in all of Germany, the dog must be trialed and shown by a youth handler and they earn points, his youth handler showed him and also trialed him for his last four SchH3 titles, she won the competition by over 100 points over the second place youth team. Not sure though if there's like a final competition or not, I'll have to ask her, never thought about it really :) I'm heading over there the end of the month to visit her for a week so I'll definitely find out.

Barbie, ah, ok that makes sense! Interesting... What fun for the youth handlers! Sounds like he did really well with his youth handler! Thanks for the explanation!

Waiko is owned by Plank, not Plant. Sorry for the error.

Far too few in the UK IMO. One SL kennel that I am aware of who is testing for both AF and DM is Kesyra GSDs. I'm sure there are others, and perhaps they will come forward, especially for those who will be seeking puppies from DM clear parents in the future !

Both of my stud males are DM Clear, OFA Excellent, Elbows Normal, CERF Clear.
U-CH Altpeter vom Gildaf CGC Cert. HRD/SAR dog (he was mentioned earlier by Hunger)

and
U-CH SG Buzz vom Gildaf CGC BH AD HIC (competing in agility right now and working toward our SchH1).

Can see more info on my site:

I did use Rasto z Eurosportu...awesome dog! And you are welcome Mike, glad you tested him and I got to use him. It was a great litter.

I have spoken to Katrina at Kesyra. Your right AbbyNormal I can not believe how few test for these conditions in the UK. There are a hand full testing for DM but Katrina is the ONLY ONE I know testing for AF too. When I've been looking on the Internet Katrina has done us proud in the health testing. If Keira hadn't had all her problems I wouldn't have know about any of these horrific conditions. It's only since she's been gone I've done lots more research. I feel so sorry for people looking for a shepherd thinking hip and elbow scores are all you have to be worried about.

Indeed, most of us learn about these conditions 'the hard way'. I have often been told that DM is not considered overly important because it is a 'disease of old age'.
My reply has always been well you have obviously never had a dog with it.

I find it incredibly disappointing that the UK is so backward in modern GSD health testing. The gems stand out like diamonds, but oh so few. I do not buy into the lame excuses for the lack of testing that I have heard so often.

I feel so sorry for people looking for a shepherd thinking hip and elbow scores are all you have to be worried about.
Me too. The trouble is, looking and researching would lead you to believe that this was all you need to worry about wouldn't it? In fact hips are now one of the lesser of my concerns, having had HD dogs, and knowing that if the worst comes to the worst they can be repaired. Progress is even being made with elbow replacement. But as yet you can do nothing about DM.

So why are the majority of breeders in the UK not testing when these tests are available? Why indeed?
