Thanks, Peggie:
I wanted to let you know what DM is :degenerative myelopathy. It is a genetic disease that is prevalent in Corgis. It strikes while they are in thier prime, 8 years or so. Causes incontinence, paralysis, & a lot of pain. It's hearbreaking to watch a dog with it. I had to put my Twinkie down 5 1/2 years ago, but we didn't realize what she had at the time. Now, all of my dogs are DNA tested through offa.org to make sure they won't get it. My Lucy is certified DM clear (YIPPEE!) & her puppies only had 1 gene, not the 2 necessary for them to get it.
