I would love to know who these dogs are that were tested clear and later found to be positive. I would like to know when the test was done for DM and what method. I think having proof and cold hard facts before making assumptions are a must. I have tested my dogs and will absolutely continue to do so with OFA's test until more advances are made and when they come out with more tests for other issues in our breed you can bet I will absolutely be one of the first people to jump on board and test. It's far better to test and aide in finding out the accuracy of a test then to cover your head and wait for the smoke to clear.
