degenerative myelopathy in Crying Wolf

Do you mean by "positive" it is a carrier (N/DM) or he is a sufferer (DM/DM)? A substantial difference. Of what age is the dog in question? Be aware that the DM test for the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog could not be performed until about two years ago and it is even shorter that it became a requirement in breeding to breed for safe (DM tested) combinations, or at least an ethical obligation of the breeder to do so if the breed association of a country did not prescribe it yet as an obligation. Safe combinations mean that also carriers can be born (t would be totally irresponsible from a genetic point to only breed with fully free dogs, but that's another discussion).

Sorry, but I think this is little decent communication and of incomplete provision of information. I am becoming a little tired of such incriminating, damaging and even maybe unjustified statements.
