Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: time to put up, or shut up Is it possible dogs that tested DM clear, may often be seen with DM as very senior dogs upon necropsy? Is it possible that we are dealing with two types of DM? One that attacks young dogs prematurely and can be seen genetically, verses one that appears much later in life and may be caused due to arthritis? Twenty-seven years ago I lost part of one litter to DM. It is a disease to be fought aggressively with all tools at our disposal and never to be ignored, unless you like holding the head of your year old puppy as he gently takes his last breath in your arms.

Go to the OFA ebsite. They admit to at least 2 dogs already that tested clear but ecropsy proved they had DM. There is plenty of evidence that this test is nreliable, Kathy and I have spent a lot of time looking into this as hould any responsible breeder. We all need to do our homework. oing the testing may cause you to make bad decisions and give you and uppy buyers false hopes. en n Thu, May 24, 2012 at 7:52 PM, <ELG440@xxxxxxx> wrote: > In a message dated 5/24/2012 6:54:03 P.M.
