Dwarfism test for CSW?

[loco]

And we can also think .
That it come's from the GS in the beginning ???

As the link says it is from the earlier 50s that it came out in the open, and when is the beginning of the breed CSW started??

Does it matter ? ??

It is here and it does not dissapear by pointing a finger to somebody or specific bloodline's.
Or do you think the Breed of CSW is big enough to put out specific bloodline's of breeding??

By using the test with goodtestresult you still can use all bloodline's .

Yes, it can be from GS, of course. But I think no, because here we don´t know some case of it. And in czech are only pure breed csw. If was some case by saarols breed, My personal meaning is- it can be in some "not so much clean" breeding.
So I think, will not be situation when we will must give some line out from breeding....
But-I told, in this moment we can only think about it. We (me) don´t know where Mijke have seen it.

[loco]

And if Mijke was not honest about it you would not know anything about it .

So who says there is only honest breeders off CSW ???
In whole EUROPA ??
Who says because you did not hear about in CZ that it is not there also ???

It also comes forward in very diffrent breeds.
Not only Saarloos and GS.
Also in mouse.
It even comes forward in to people.
So why not the CSW ??
Because we never heard about it ??

It can be only be a dead born pup who has it.
Or a pup who lived not long enough to see the diffrent with the other pups (2 or 3 weeks).
It is exceptional that the pup lived long enough to see that it is a dwarf.

But if everybody stays in denial there never comes a test.

Sure! I dont read completly the link but I pass the eye in a part wich say the first knowed case was in 53, of course we all know these problems already exist early the first case be related, but nobody cares for the puppies wich the mother kill, wich mystriously die and so on, most part of puppies with this problem die in the first week and in all breeds we can consider common a puppie die in this age, that's why nobody cares at first time, since a puppie with the problem survive suficiently to show the problem to the owner or breeder.
Work with breeders is pretty difficult, probably more cases of hipophysary dwarfism happen in other GSD breeding but the breeder told nobody about it for avoid gossips and rumors about his breeding.
CzW have a high amount of GSD, why the breed would be immune to the GSD problems? of course without the same intensity because the different morphologic selection made in CzW, but every genetic problem wich appear in GSD must call our attention too, principally when it envolve working lines.
Hearth diseases, Cryptorchidism, Hip Displasy, Elbows Displasy, Demodex cannis, malignal brian cancer in young, in a breed with such poor genetic pool like CzW, any cases of illness must call our attention even if it was only one, the breed not need to be mixed for show problems that before not appear, with such genetic pool, is only a time question for more and more hiden illness appear in pure breed dogs, that not mean that mixes will be more healty than pure dogs.

You can addict that the CzW breed is a relactivelly new breed, so most part of the problems wich the breed have are still unknow, that turn things more difficult.

Yes, she can´t informate me about it of course. But she knows, I am in Czech breed comission and we have info about Czech population (health, problems, etc...) And when she wants some health info from me, I answer her usually.

Nobody. And I think nobody does it. Why you ask about it?

Nobody. But nobody tell it. Or yes?

Yes. For example from malamut- in saarlos population. Why not....?

Exist some small %. but nobody told, it is not from CSW. I only wrote I THINK and we had not it in population in last years....

You don´t know situation in breeding in Czech. Here is all under health control. Of course, every breeder can keep some problems "at home". And nothing is 100%

Yes, but we know how much pups was born in every litter and we ask why puppy was dead. Everybody can lie, but not the same breeder every litter, etc.

And it is all what I will write with you in this problem. I think, you are new in wolfdog world. If Mijke will want inform me, she will do it. Or no....

[nanouk]

did you guys know that the NVSWH, the original breedclub in the netherlands does the same as some do here?
point fingers to TWD, say possible dwarfism only appaers in the SWDlines outside their protected breeding program and derives not from GS but from TWD

Malamute in saarloos population? nice rumours.. why mention this in this diskussion, when it is , thanks to gen research, more than obvious that the gen responsible for dwarfism in SWD is the similair one as in GS, not as in malamute

[Hanka]

Sorry. My writting about malamute was only "case", not really meaning. But as I know, was much discussions about "brown colour" in thear population. Some people told, there was some siberian husky. Mrs.Saarlos told NO. But from what is brown colour in this breed?
It must be some similar breed.

Yes but there is now dwarfism and that can be solved by the test, and not by pointing finger at each other or a other breed .

Maybe I´m wrong but for one (?) SWD dwarf and maybe one CSW dwarf it´s a great effort to test the whole breeds

Dysplasia or epilepsy appear much more important to me.

Of course yes, one CzW dwarf survive that means probably much others die before 1 week with this problem.
Dysplasia is pretty difficult to make control using genetic tests because none know really all gens wich cause the problem, it's still in studie and be poligenic turn things more difficult, if I not deceif me with Epilepsy isn't different problem.

I understand where you are coming from, but there is no need to test a whole population, if in fact there is proof of dwarfism under TWD and the test can be made available, a dna test for dogs used for breeding is not to expensive, you can deal with a problem as long as it still is incidental, and with smart breeding can make sure that less and less dogs need to be tested in future (mating two free animals gives you free animals so no need to test their offspring )

In SWD it is sadly more than just one dwarf, but like mentioned in the test, stillborn puppies , fading puppies, that might all have been dwarfs as well.. I#d rather know than take the guess..

To give some figures, last figures i got after the test was available:
36 SWD tested, 28 free, 7 carriers and 1 dwarf
(offcourse a couple more dwarfs are known from the past, these are just the facts with DNA testing done)

as of hd:

Neues Testverfahren für HD-Risiko entwickelt

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(huj) Einem Team um Professor Ottmar Distl am Institut für Tierzucht und Vererbungsforschung der Stiftung Tierärztliche Hochschule Hannover ist es mit Unterstützung des Vereins für Deutsche Schäferhunde gelungen, ein molekularbiologisches Testverfahren zu entwickeln, das es ermöglicht, das HD-Risiko mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit vorherzusagen. Wie VDH-Vorstandsmitglied Josef Pohling mitteilt, könne jetzt mit Hilfe des Testverfahrens die Schätzung der genomischen Zuchtwerte erfolgen. Im Unterschied zur in der Hundezucht verbreiteten Zuchtwertschätzung auf Basis der HD-Röntgenergebnisse spielen bei der genomischen Zuchtwertschätzung die Informationen von verwandten Tieren keine Rolle. Auf Grundlage der Auswertung einer Blutprobe beim Welpen kann das Risiko des Auftretens von HD im weiteren Verlauf seines Lebens vorausgesagt werden und bei den vorhandenen Zuchttieren die Paarungsplanung derart verbessert werden, dass die Zahl der HD-betroffenen Tiere weiter zurückgedrängt werden kann.
Der Verein für Deutsche Schäferhunde stellte für das Forschungsprojekt die DNA-Proben und die HD-Auswertungen von über 1000 Hunden zur Verfügung. Am Anfang standen elf väterliche Halbgeschwisterfamilien mit insgesamt 459 Hunden. Die hieraus gewonnen Ergebnisse wurden in der Folge an 770 möglichst wenig miteinander verwandten Schäferhunden überprüft.
Professor Distl geht davon aus, dass die Erkenntnisse beim Deutschen Schäferhund mit einem deutlich geringeren Aufwand auf ihre Übertragbarkeit und Gültigkeit für andere Rassen überprüft werden können. Voraussetzung, so Pohling, sei aber, dass die erforderlichen Daten (Zuchtbuch in elektronischer Form, HD-Auswertungen) und Blutproben zur Verfügung gestellt werden.
