There are some breeders that do not believe or don't want to test for DM and I'm sure that they have their own reasons for this. However, I'm testing my dog's for the DM as I can. It is a horrible disease (not the only 1 for GSD's), and I for one want my dog's tested.

I will be testing my dog's as I can. I have my main stud dog tested and he came back normal/clear of DM. The rest of my dog's will also be tested as well.

Our main stud dog and 1 of our female's that just had a litter tested Clear of DM through OFA. You can read about DM here, www.caninegeneticdiseases.net/DM/mainDM.htm Also if you Google it you will have a lot of information to look at. We are going to test the rest of our breeding dog's as we can. We also had some breeders tell us the same thing Christine, and we just say "To each their own" on how they want to run their breeding business/program. We personally feel better doing the test than not. Better to be safe than sorry down the road.
