I have said all along, use the test as a guild but don't through the baby
out with the bath water until they can prove accuracy. To many people out
there seem to want to take this test as gospel but I do not believe there is
enough proof yet that it is accurate so, I will test and I will try and
avoid the carriers if I can. HOWEVER, I will not breed to a Mediocre dog
just because they are clear of one disease on a test I am not confident in.
What about autoimmune diseases, torsion, other spinal issues that we do not
have tests for. The dog you breed to that is clear of those, may very well
have some of these other issues in them.
If in 10 years, they prove this accurate then YES I would remove affected
dogs and maybe even carriers, in the mean time test and use the info.

DM is still such a controversial disease that has many bewildered. They say
the test is accurate but I do ask where is all the research statistics
that
prove the accuracy. I have a male who tested at risk and go back and forth
on what I should do. Information like in the following link really makes me
question the current tests. Would love to hear other opinions and thoughts
on the subject. Keep it friendly ;)
