Well, in the past, I had a bitch who produced a heart murmur. I took her
out of my breeding program and had her spayed. If I could have a DNA test
that
would tell me a bitch carried the recessive for a heart problem. I would
probably do the same and never create the problem.
OR, I might could find a sire that DID NOT carry the problem and be able to
breed to him.
There is a lot to think about here, But I foresee in the future a lot of
elimination of health problems coming about through DNA testing.

I think the tricky part will be figuring how all of these "bads" are
inherited. Single genes? Multiples? Recessive? Incomplete penetration?????
Must
there be a "trigger" for expression?????
We're a very long way away......
