Hello Fellow GSD Lovers,

I'm currently searching for breeders/kennels who test their dogs for DM (Degenerative Myelopathy). I would like to educate German Shepherd owners on the importance of this disease. You are welcome to chime in on this topic on my facebook page. Just look up "One German Shepherd Breeder to Another" 
http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/172734576173320/

Please list any breeders/kennels on here (pedigree database) that test for DM.

I test for DM and have used the OFA as well as the DDC Animals Labs.
When testing lots of dogs the DDC gave us a great discount since we tested all dogs at 
Weberhaus German shepherds
and 
Vomwind.com

Hello,
We, http://www.vonhausdemuth.com/ , also tested our dogs. We will continue to do so, when breeding.

However, check out this topic on PDB, the SOD1 test mat not be conclusive, as the OFA now admitted.
See: http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/bulletins.read?mnr=536450 .

Also; http://kerschberger.com/ does test all their dogs.
