All I can say is that after Ben, and with as many puppies as we have bred,
we never saw DM again. I can't explain that, and just feel we have been
fortunate.
I can't put a great deal of faith in the test, but will continue to use it.
How we use it, will be learned after another 20 years or so.

For those of you that swear by the DM test, how do you explain the cases
where the dog tested DM Clear and developed DM anyway? Or, the dog that
tests DM positive and never develops the disease? This leads me to believe
that DM is polygenic in nature and not a simple recessive. If it is true
that DM is polygenic, then, unfortunately, a *definitive* genetic test for DM
will be difficult to develop.
