I can only speak for myself but i do have testing done on my breeding sires & dams.
I think just having my Biewer "Micah" neutered in dec 09 is proof enough that i do testing he was 14 mos old at the time & never had a sick day, he was bought for a stud but i chose not to use a dog with (MVD) as i would not want to raise sick puppies or put the buyers though the heartbreak & expense that i have had
