Is this ok? Can anyone find the health issues from the official breed club site? (I had a quick look but couldn't spot it). Would you class this dog as medium or large size?
Bearded Collie is next so if anyone wants to help you're more than welcome the bits I need help most with are the health issues and training sections.
Health issues: CEA/PRA, Hereditary Cataracts, Epilepsy. MRD1, Hip and Elbow Dysplasia, Cobolamine Malabsorption, Pelger Huet Anomoly and a range of Cancers, Juvenile Renal Dysplasia, Iris Hypoplasia
You said they're recognised by the AKC, but you didn't put in CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) And under Health issues, you may just want to put that Merle to Merle breeding should not be undertaken lightly as Double merles are often deaf or blind or both. Epilepsy is also thought to be linked to Double Merle as well.
Required Health Tests for the KC Assured Breeder Scheme 1) Hip scoring 2) DNA test - HC-HSF4 Recommended health tests 1) Elbow grading 2) Eye testing 3) DNA test - CEA/CH 3) DNA test - MDR1 4) DNA test - prcd-PRA 5) DNA test Cobalamin Malabsorption 6) Blood test for Pelger-Huet Anomaly
Not sure if you want to add that Champions have been made up in the UK in the Breed Ring, Obedience and Working Trials. Not sure about Agility? Also there is no such thing as a "Miniature ASD"
ps where do I find the breed profiles for Weimaraner and GSD I have looked in the relevant section but cannot see anything similar to the ASD profile? GSD obviously needs updating to reflect that it no longer is registered in the UK as GSD (Alasation), the Alsation has been removed
Thanks guys! I've updated the profile - better? I haven't included the required health tests as I think we're going to have to revisit the entire breed profiles section and add a 'required health tests' section to all of them - maybe that's something we can do after we've got the first version of the profiles done. Smokey - we haven't done a GSD profile yet, currently the only Pastoral group profiles we've done are here http://www.dogsey.com/pastoral-group.htm The two shown were the ones SB had completed but weren't made live until yesterday as I found them in her Articles preparation area. We do have a user-submitted GSD profile - but those are user submitted and not our official breed profiles (which can be seen here http://www.dogsey.com/dog-breeds.htm). Thanks for your help guys - I think it looks much better now! Sarah, we haven't included the CKC in any profiles yet, but this is another thing I think we need to fix in the second revision
Ok the profile is now up, but I feel it's too short :/ and think Origin Character and Exercise need expanding :? Australian Shepherd Breed Profile
I've revisited it, and expanded it - much happier with it now but still think it needs a little more. Will review it again later.
