| BREEDERS -Have you an Undocked Litter of puppies? Contact The Alliance for advice and help in promoting your undocked litter. Please note we cannot 'vet' your litters but will expect responsible ethics in dog breeding. BREEDERS if you have a swimmer puppy take a look at this http://cockerspanielinformation.com/ before you have the puppy put to sleep. BREEDERS - watch out for loose fibres on fleece bedding as puppies can ingest and die. |
MEMBERS - Do you want information on breeders of undocked docked breeds? Contact A.D.A. |
BY DOING JUST THIS, YOU MIGHT END UP GETTING A LIFE TIME OF VETS' BILLS. |
1998> PAIN - Recent research has shown that neonates are HYPERsensitive rather than HYPOsensitive as has been widely believed. Neonates have an intact sensory central nervous system that does not have descending modular pathways that act as pain blocks seen in adults. Research has also shown that the memory of neonatal pain can affect the animal in its adult life. Symptoms include decreased pain threshold, anxiety, social disorders and aggression.

| DOCKED BREEDS' HEALTH INFORMATION WARNING - DO NOT BUY a puppy from a breeder who will not/cannot show you both the parent dogs' genuine Kennel Club/BVA hip score certificateS (or eye tests) in the breeds where there is a high prevalence of hip dysplasia (and eye problems).

Breed population around 3,500. Occasional eye problems possibly inherited as an autosomal recessive. They include cataracts, micropthalmia (small eyes) retinal dysplasia and persistent pupillary membranes (PPM) These should be present in the foetal stage and then degenerate after birth but in PPM they persist. Muscular dystrophy causing gait abnormalities and easy exhaustion. It is found in the x-linked chromosome so would be seen in males (XY) and very rarely in females (XX) and is present from birth (congenital). Melanomic tumours usually malignant occurring in the skin but usually in older dogs (over 8 yrs.). Hyperkeratosis of footpad occasionally seen. It is a horny growth on the pad and relatively rare. Generally seen in families and may have a genetic base but this isn't established. **Cystinuria; digital hyperkeratosis; muscular dystrophy; progressive retinal atrophy No litters available currently.

Dr. Malcolm Willis (Geneticist) says:- This is a numerically small breed Eye problems - glaucoma occurs occasionally and can lead to blindness; sometimes it is secondary but problem occurs when it is primary and believed to be genetic but mode of inheritance uncertain. Lens luxation also rarely seen but painful and shown to be an autosomal recessive. Cataracts but mode of inheritance uncertain and age of onset variable. A relatively rare condition is optic nerve hypoplasia which can lead to blindness. Skeletal - hip dysplasia has been reported although no dog has been submitted to the BVA/KC scheme most date comes from abroad. Patella luxation mode of inheritance is polygenic. Liver disorders - Copper toxicosis rare but may be inherited by a simple autosomal recessive; in severe cases death. Portosystemic shunts caused by the malformation and misdirection of the blood vessels that are outside the liver and allow blood to bypass the liver. Other conditions - hypothyroidism where the dog'd own immune system damages and can destroy the thyroid gland; causes rough scaly skin and hair loss as well as weight gain. Mode of inheritance unclear but may be recessive but is more widespread than breeders realise. Immune reaction can lead to atopic dermatitis wth rough itchy skin and seemingly allergic to pollen, grass seed, fleas and other irritants. Heart disease where heart muscle is abnormal can cause sudden death. It can cause oedema of the lung lethargy and reluctance to exercise. Mitral valve disease is beginning to be seen. Megaoesophagus occasionally occurs (constriction of the oesophagus) About 5 weeks onwards affected puppies constantly regurgitate food; most have to be put down but some can survive although they are susceptible to inhalation pneumonia. |

Set high completing perfectly level topline. Carried erect. b) Tail of moderate length to give a general balance to dog, thick at root and tapering towards tip, as straight as possible, carried jauntily, not excessively gay, completing perfectly level topline Malcom Willis (Geneticist) says:- lens luxation, breeders getting lens luxation should consider parents of affected pups as carriers and affected pups as homozygous for the problem and should act accordingly. Cataracts which are usually posterior polar and can occur 6 months onwards and lead to impaired vision - mode of inheritance uncertain. Primary glaucoma can lead to blindness - mode of inheritance uncertain. Musculoskeletal conditions - muscular cramping similar to Scottie cramp - dogs may be affected permanently or intermittently. Problems with walking and respiration thought to be due to inherited deficiency of hormone serotonin Might find Legg-Calve Perthe's disease. Terriers do not have many reported problems it might be because there are few problems or just no incentive to report any. **Corneal dystrophy; hypothyroidism; lens luxation; Von Willebrands disease |
