The current DNA test for DM is not breed specific and it may not be perfect, but for now it's all we have. It's not a test of elimination, it's just another tool for breeders to consider when planning a breeding with the goal in mind to not produce any "at risks". At risks and carriers can be used safely if not bred to another at risk or a carrier. |

As a person that is in search of another gsd, this gives sites to some of the good breeders available that test. I really think, to me, this is a perfectly useful and informative thread. Nice for those of us looking, learning and trying to compare for the ideal puppy that would be ideal for each family. So........is there a way to "save" this tread on PDB for later reference??? I'm still trying to learn to navigate around here, as well, find the perfect puppy for me. Thanks. |

| I have not yet had a litter, but have one in the works. So yes my dogs are tested for DM through the OFA. |
