We want to breed again this year but with Shadow being N/DM, need to know the male is N/N. So many stud dog owners seem to still be burying their head in the sand and not getting tested (and not doing so if requested!) - to quote one owner "Of the DM test, I think myself not too much, because I look him in the breed population as inconclusive" - and his rates weren't cheap either, the test costs less than he quotes per puppy!!

We are limited in the distance we can travel due to other responsibilities at home and need to also take into consideration the COI of any potential pairing so are getting rather frustrated...

Maybe it would be an idea to have an addition in the stud dog listings to say that the test has been done (show the results only if wanted), that way it would save a lot of time and effort for owners of females who are concientious enough to want their puppies healthy.

If stud dog owners continue to refuse to carry out the test, this disease is only going to proliferate and the outcome for the breed is not good.

Sorry for the rant but I think breeding dog owners need to wake up to the consequences of what they are (or are not) doing...

How can in one litter be a dog with DM/DM and N/N like Sherdor posted from the same parents?

Please watch the first Garderel and the last dogs Gerd.

If two N/DM dogs breed, they can have puppies of N/N, N/DM and DM/DM (a 25% chance of N/N and DM/DM and 50% of N/DM). He already stated that one parent (Ckaa'loup-bah MLS) is N/DM, so the results show that it is very likely that the other (Voice of Wolf z molu es) also is. The good bit of news from this litter is that only one of the pups is affected (DM/DM), but it could have been more...

The responsibility for the litter is a breeder and owner of the breeding male. However, we can not DM the disease gene to reduce the population. We often forget what they are doing and go to extremes. I have a DM sick dog and I know what it is like to live with it but I did not panic with it.

Thanks to Shadowland for the explanation...

We "were" lucky... but, Garderel was the puppy i would like to keep as male from this litter... unfortunately, DM tests results decided for us...

The owner has received a strong information about (Lillya also knew everything well because she helped us each 2 afternoons in pups socialization).

Gader'el was the stronggest and best health puppy from the litter...

Satu, I just reread what I had posted and think it sounded a bit nasty - I wasn't meaning to be sarcastic or anything, I was genuinely thanking you for pointing out that we have to be careful not to allow this disease gene to narrow the gene pool and affect the future of our beloved breed. Sorry if it came across badly (and I have no excuse as English is my mother tongue!! )
