DM is more spread in the breed then we thought!
In the mean time 30 CsW's were tested for DM:(Degenerative Myelopathy)
7 Affected (they have this disease) 17 Carrier (they carry the mutated gene) 6 Free Several of these 7 affected CsW's already have physical problems...  DM is an awful and horrible disease..... See for example thesd movies: But as owners and breeders we can stop that DM affected CsW's will be born! The only thing we have to do is test a lot more CsW's and don't make crossings anymore with affected CsW's(DM/DM x DM/DM) It is a pity that a several owners and breeders still deny DM exists in the breed! And till now still a lot of CsW's puppy's of not tested parents are born. But I hope that this topic will open eyes and more people will realize that DM can be a big thread for our breed...
