I was unfortunate enough to have a sire that was stricken with DM at. Then
a dam, and their one offspring daughter I kept. They were all 8 years old
when they could no longer pick themselves up and I had to lovingly send
them off to the Rainbow Bridge. My sire was an import from England..
Supposedly health free..
I do not care if a GRAND VICTOR is shown to be a carrier.. I would NEVER
chance passing that dreaded, heart wrenching disease on to an innocent
puppy or a potential owner...
If you have not lived with DM, then trust me, you would only breed clear to
clear.. NO MATTER WHAT..
I must 100% agree with Zoe.
JMHO

Here is where Evan and I will have to agree to disagree. If we want to
remove DM from our breed,
we cannot breed an A/A to a clear, because 50% of the litter will be
carriers.
Clear to clear is the best way to go and prevents the gene from being
transmitted
This is how I decide.
It works for me.

It seems to me that using OFA is important. It is an open data base, so
everyone can see the results. If we are determined to improve the breed,
we should share this information and not have to depend on someone telling
us the results.
I know I looked up one of the big winners out here and he was A/A. As
such, I would only breed to him with a bitch clear for DM. It is an
important tool.
