CsW and dwarfism
I hope someone can and will translate this topic!!
Or maybe you can use http://translate.google.com (and past the url of this topic) Some info about dwarfism and the pituitary dwarfism test. CsW pup and CsW dwarf pup What is pituitary dwarfism: Dwarfism is a horrible incurable disorder which you don’t wish to any dog. A dwarf has a badly developed pituitary , which means that certain hormones (such as growth hormones) are not produced. Due to the shortage of the production of the thyroid stimulating hormone, they have a slow functioning thyroid. Besides the fact that these dogs stay small, they are also haunted by various horrible side effects (e.g. baldness, itching, inflammations, malfunctioning of the liver and kidneys, slow behaviour) when they are not treated with medicines on a daily basis. Saarlooswolfhond litter with dwarf Recognising and existence of dwarfism in a breed: Dwarfism is not always recognised by a breeder!! Many dwarfs die in the uterus or die during the birth. And moreover 90% of the living born dwarfs die in the first week. Pups behind in growth are often not recognised as dwarfs. After (4 weeks or later) people see that a pup is different in comparison with the other pups. Dwarfism is known in the breeds German Shepherd, Karelische Bearsdog, Saarlooswolfhond and the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog. The university of Utrecht did validate the pituitary dwarfism test for the CsW breed And since April 2009 it also possible to test a CsW for pituitary dwarfism! Unfortunately also in CsW breed several dwarfs (from several lines) are known. And when 1% is dwarf in a population, 18 % will be carrier of this mutated gen! And the number of carriers in practice is often much higher than thought CsW litter with 2 dwarfs But as of now there is no need that more CsW dwarfs will be born! Because of a simple test can be established if a dog is carrier of this mutated gene. And not any dog has to be out of breeding program when he/she is carrier. The only thing is not to make any crossings between carrier x carrier!(of this mutated gen) Therefore it makes sense to test as much as possible CsW's to see how this mutation in the breed is spread. And to prevent another CsW dwarf will be ever born, you have to test all CsW's that will be used for breeding! SWH dwarfpup How an owner can test his CsW for pituitary dwarfism: Because not all vets will know the test, it can be useful to give them a copy of the article of dr. H. Kooistra en drs. A. Voorbij: Pituitary dwarfism in German shepherd dogs and Saarloos wolfhounds -Availability of a genetic test- Here you can download this document as pdf file ** A form blood sample is here to download as pdf file ** . ** A pdf file is to open with program Acrobat Reader. You can download this program for free for example Here

@ Francy: thanks for the translation
Sembra un costoso test Ma ... quando i genitori sono stati testati e ti chiede 25 € in più per cucciolo il costo è di fretta! Sorry for my bad translation in Italian language!

..io ne ho visto uno povero piccolo, hanno un sacco di problemi fisici; non credo sia un problema che si presenta così raramente purtroppo, credo invece che come si diceva spesso si tratta di cuccioli che muoiono molto presto
il test mi sembra un'ottima idea |
