While this mutation is not, in and of itself, a reason not to breed a dog — even a dog with two copies — the presence of the MDR1 mutation should be viewed as a fault and, over the long term, breeders should work toward reducing the its frequency in the breed.

However, eliminating every dog with the mutation is extremely short - sighted and even dangerous in those breeds where it is common.

In some instances, as with Collie Eye Anomaly in Collies, the frequency of the mutation is so high that most dogs have two copies of the mutation and only a tiny percentage are cleaIn some instances, as with Collie Eye Anomaly in Collies, the frequency of the mutation is so high that most dogs have two copies of the mutation and only a tiny percentage are cleain Collies, the frequency of the mutation is so high that most dogs have two copies of the mutation and only a tiny percentage are clear.

If the disease is uncommon, as with the progressive rod - cone degeneration (PRCD) form of Progressive Retinal Atrophy in Australian Shepherds, or if use of a test and careful breeding decisions have markedly reduced the frequency of a formerly common mutation (think what could be done with CEA in Collies,) testing could then be confined to only those dogs with known family history of the disease or with relatives that have been DNA tested as carriers.
