The main focus
of the prcd-PRA DNA Test and Breeding Strategies below are to ensure that we never produce any prcd-PRA affected puppies, while at the same time ultimately take our breed to a “Free of prcd-PRA” Status.

For most of our parent breeds this (prcd) is the only form of PRA disease
known to affect them. If you suspect other eye problems with your dog/s please see your veterinary ophthalmologist for further assessment.

In summary All of our breeding stock regardless of results may continue to be used for breeding, thus maintaining genetic diversity within our breed. Armed with this new information we can ensure that no mating from this point forward will result in a puppy that will be affected with the disease as it ages.

1. Production of affected dogs can be prevented by ensuring at least one parent is clear in mating of current breeding stock. The disease-causing gene can be eliminated completely by selection of future breeding stock from clear tested puppies.
