Hi John,

Thank you so much for answering questions for us. From reading your replies it appears that once the dwarf gene is identified and can be tested for we will be able to make much better decisions about our breeding programs. Similar to the LWO, if you have 2 carriers of dwarf you wouldn't breed them. My question is: realistically, how long do you think it will be before we identify the gene and then can test for it.
 
Sandy,

It could be several months, it could be literally several years. It all depends on number of samples that can be used in early studies, amount of money raised for research, and how little sleep I can function on, I am the research lab so to speak.

John
