When I put the laptop on yesterday morning Kaiah's DM results where already there, the e.mail sent at 8.03am - so I kind of hope Ross' results would be there today too, so far nothing. You can't help but worry when you've sent things off together and one comes back but not the other. I'm trying to be logical and think well they are probably working through them alphabetically .. so Blanik Jeevana would be well in front of Silkenwood Poldark Of Blanik. Hope it's not too long!
Kaiah's results also give me peace of mind for Sammi, as Kaiah is clear for this gene then both her parents have passed on a clear gene meaning Sammi would probably be clear, or at worst a carrier.
Like I've said before, to my knowledge no Blanik bred dog has been affected by DM .. but sadly Blade was, thankfully he was never bred from. As it's a condition that doesn't usually show it's self till 8 + years this test is a god send. It's no where near 100% successful as there are other genes considered to cause DM, but the reputable breeder is now hopefully on it's way to reducing, and even one day eradicating this crippling condition from their line.
For anyone who is interested here is a little extra info about DM on the site that did the tests.
