I don't know Rocco, I do not pretend I am a CsW expert, I am not involved in any group or experiment, but... based on genetic rules I agree with this:
Quote:
On this moment I know some incidental health problems in CsW breed that were in the past also “incidental” in Saarloos breed. So I think we all have to register and share honest the health info about the breed. Quote:

But when breeders in several countries will share honest health information and will work together, a lot of breeds will have a better future! For example In the saarloos breed some people did make a good start with making a DNA database for the breed (and so in future they can better look for DNA markers for genetic problems). In Holland I did ask the Dutch CsW club to start a breeder discussion about the possibilities for a CsW DNA databank. And I hope that in future there will come an international DNA database for CsW.

There is an easy start, let's create a site which would collect CSW health information worldwide. Each club, breeder, owner, could put CSW health information gathered. This site could also be useful if a CSW statistical study on a specific point is needed at a moment, collecting informations just by filling a form. Etc ...

The German Club offered this some years ago, we have a breeding software that makes it easy. As far as I know no answer.

And so on ... this would be a good starting point (we could then add DNA profile, statistical studies etc...). Does the "community" is ready for that or should we wait the breed become in a difficult situation ? |

I think that is an excellent idea - hopefully owners would be open and honest when they have a dog with an undesirable health trait, even if they hvae no intention to breed their dog.

Ideal will be: in every country can be really working breedcommision in club. It will watch population and it will collect results of X-ray and write list of some defect in population. AAAAnd: for example it will watch, how much males, females is in every bloodline. I know, it is a little sci-fi. But we can have dream to have minim. 5 males in every group. So- every country can help with saving of breed.....
Is it really possible? |

sens it would look fore the buyers that the unserius ones are the best and the most healty ones and the onest ones will look like the ones whit big problems. But I agree that a DNA database would be a god idea, that way the breeders will no before the mating and will have easier to choose a combination that will produse healty puppys. In Sweden you are not allowed to breed working dogs whitaut mental test and HD X-ray. And you are not allowed to mate HD C whit a C or a B onely whit an A. This to prevent HD problems on Working dogs. Almoste every working dog breeder also do an ED X-ray at the same time, sens about 80% of the buyers request this resalt to. I hope the roles fore breeding in udder countrys are this hard to ? but I´m not sure ? Maby FCI are to make breeder roles fore all breeders to follow ? But maby I´m living in a drem world to Best Regards / Mikael

I also have a question about the health tests. Of course, you have to make HD, ED, PRA, but what about some other tests, like common blood test, biochemical tests for liver, kidney etc. Does anyone do it before breeding? |

The AKC in the US is quite scary - there are no stipulations that a dog be tested for health, or anything else, before registering or breeding - many purebred dogs have paid the ultimate price in terms of health (physical and mental) because of poor breeding practices. A purebred dog needs only 3 generation pedigree. A breeder at their own choice may "limit" the registration of a puppy being sold (which can be reversed later) so that the puppy's offspring may not be registered in the future, and the puppy may not be shown in conformation exhibits, but most irresponsible breeders do not use this feature of registration, out of ignorance or because the lack of breeding/registration rights is a turn-off to buyers. Responsible breeders examine each pup early, and also follow the pup's development - the "limit" feature is useful for the responsible breeder.
DNA testing is required on all breedings of dogs that are imported, or if a bitch is mated outside of the USA. If 2 AKC registered dogs are bred, there is no requirement to DNA test - besides the health implications, this also scares me tremendously, as we have so many people here with hybrids, and also such a demand for hybrids to be produced from foolish people, in addition to a very "relaxed" attitude about breeding with our laws... |

Even with a US club and it's bylaws regarding health, character, working, conformation and DNA testing, very unfortunately, it is still possible to breed an AKC registered litter from a terrible match... Mikael, give Hronec our best (especially from Hronsek!) Marcy |

Thanks Marcy and Hronsek.
Hronec will have his X-ray soon, I´m not worried about the resalt, but I´m worried about the anaesthetize. If some body has paipers on how to do it, please send it to me, my veterinary wonts it on paper to do it at all. Best Regards / Mikael
