As I mentioned before, Dexter was tested for DM, and his results came back Normal (N/N). I am pleased about this, of course, and also want to share a message that OFA sends in with the results. I thought it was quite interesting and we should all heed this advice. "We recommend that breeders take into consideration the DM test results as they plan their breeding programs; however, they should not over-emphasize the test results. Instead, the test results should be one factor among many in a balanced breeding program." I encourage everyone to do this test, is really an easy thing to do, and a step in the right direction.
