With the recent awareness in the community that CDDY is present in the breed, I'm happy to say that both of my dogs are clear.
I've been DNA testing all of my dogs for the past 15 years. Both Poppy and Halo were tested as puppies and have been retested several times as new tests became available and to keep their profiles up to date.
If you haven't tested your Bedlington yet, please consider doing so. The more data we collect, the better we can understand whether this gene has any impact on our breed.
