The problem is not Rep, in several breeds you can meet even more restricted genetic pool, even if all dogs comes back to Rep in 8 or 9 generation, differents preferences in the selection of the breed should mantain the tipicity while at the same time as small diferences from region to region will appear, also as different genetical conections, which can garantee the genetical diversity enough to preserve the breed.
Basically, the breed will be selected looking for different features in different places, this different selection will already be able to raise the genetical diversity by itself

I also recomend to test your dogs, as it would be great if everybody make it in every dog, because some people with affected dogs are having a huge problem to find free studs with
compatible genetic.
After a good ammount of tested dogs, we will be able to know WHAT SHOULD WE DO for select DM without affect even more the (poor) quality of the breed today.
We will not be able to select HD, ED, DM or any other disease while we nor even have tipical dogs for chose, while soon we will have to pick up the pieces of what remained of the interesting lines, which were well known to give wolfish features and health, from atipical dogs with a huge tendency for health problems.
