The DM Test 
I don't often write on this list, and find it enjoyable to read and learn.  
With that being said, I feel the "DM" Test is a "TOOL" to be incorporated into 
our breeding program.
As with any "TOOL" it has it's interpretation, depending on who is using it and 
the outcome they wish it to have.
 
I use it in my breeding program, as a "TOOL" .  I feel that by using it this 
way, I may be able to make wiser choices.  I'm not saying it's the perfect 
"TOOL", it's what we have at the present time.....As I recall, back in the 
early days of OFA, there were people who reflected on that "TOOL" feeling like 
it wasn't correct.  As with all choices, we have to live with them....as I tell 
people when inquiring about a dog to breed to, it's just a "TOOL" that I want 
to use in my breeding program.
 
I did hire a geneticist and she also did some research for me.....it was very 
interesting.  Again, "TOOL'S" are building blocks for our future - it's all a 
matter of what and how you wish to use them.
 
Humbly and respectfully,
