Peggy thank so much for posting. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> A friend who breeds Pembrokes sent this to me this morning: Several breed clubs, including the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America, funded a study on Degenerative Myelopathy (DM). Happily, the research has developed a test to identify a DNA mutation that is a major risk factor for the development of DM.......... the tests are available now.
