While I agree about breeding clear to 
clear(I have a breeding planned that us 
just that) 
I think that if you use the test results you 
can breed and rid the disease without 
losing some very important dogs in this 
breed. I have no issue breeding a carrier 
to a clear. Also if you breed an at risk dog 
to a clear you should result in carriers 
not at risk dogs if I am correct. If you use 
the testing to prevent breeding at risk 
dogs to anything but clear dogs you 
should eventually be able to rid the 
breed of those at risk . I am fortunate to 
have a clear male and a female that is 
also clear but I think it would do great 
damage to the gene pool to eliminate all 
the non clear dogs.
