Here is what Joan R. Coates said:

"The 'DM' allele is very common in some breeds. In these breeds, an overly aggressive breeding program to eliminate the dogs testing DM/DM or N/DM might be destructive to the breed as a whole because it would eliminate a large fraction of the high quality dogs that would otherwise contribute desirable qualities to the breed.
...
Summary: We recommend that dog breeders take into consideration the DM test results as they plan their breeding programs; however, they should not over-emphasize this test result. Instead, the test result is one factor among many in a balanced breeding program."
