IMO, DM is a very serious disease...and yes, I'm one of those who lost a dog to it. She was a pet, never bred and I will say, I tested before she was ever diagnosed. So it wasn't my dog being affected that prompted me to test my breeding dogs. I started testing b/c it's a horrible disease and I don't want to produce puppies who will be affected by the disease.
Maybe some don't know about DM? Maybe some don't "want" to know the results of their dogs? Maybe some read this thread and will test their dogs. I know what I want out of my breedings.

I am a pet owner from the UK as stated in previous posts. I am gutted that so little is done in the UK for these hereditry conditions. Gildaf is spot on in my opinion WHY would you want another dog brought into this world with this debilitating condition. I have never wanted to breed but if I did I would test for evey conditon I could. I would know I have done the best by my breed. I know nature can give us a kick in the gutts but if you do all that you can it's got to be a good thing hasn't it?

That's unfortunate Heidi
Beautiful dogs, and thank you for trying to breed the healthiest dogs you can!
