Grand Championship Title
United Kennel Club (UKC) is an international dog registry celebrating bonds, rewarding ability, and preserving the value of a pedigree.
Hip Dysplasia Examination
Radiographs of animals 24 months of age or older are independently evaluated by three randomly selected, board-certified veterinary radiologists from a pool of 20 to 25 consulting radiologists throughout the USA in private practice and academia. Each radiologist evaluates the animal’s hip status considering the breed, sex, and age. There are approximately 9 different anatomic areas of the hip that are evaluated.
AKC Pedigree
A pedigree provides you with information you might not have otherwise known. An online view of information about every dog in the pedigree, to include name, registration number, colors and markings, competition titles and any related health information.
Cardiovasular Examination
A careful clinical examination that emphasizes cardiac auscultation is the most expedient and cost-effective method for identifying Congenital Heart Disease in dogs. While there are exceptions, virtually all common congenital heart defects are associated with the presence of a cardiac murmur. Consequently, it is recommended that cardiac auscultation be the primary screening method for initial identification of CHD and the initial classification of dogs.
Degenerative Myelopathy Examination
Degenerative Myelopathy is a debilitating disease that causes gradual paralysis in many dog breeds. It is caused by a degeneration of the spinal cord that onsets typically between 8 and 14 years of age. It presents first with the loss of coordination of the hind legs. It will typically worsen over six months to a year, resulting in paralysis of the hind legs. If signs progress for a longer period of time, loss of urinary and fecal continence may occur and eventually, weakness will develop in the front limbs. An important feature of Degenerative Myelopathy is that it is not a painful disease.
Eye Certification
The purpose of the OFA Companion Animal Eye Registry (CAER) is to provide breeders with information regarding canine eye diseases so that they may make informed breeding decisions in an effort to produce healthier dogs. CAER certifications will be performed by board certified (ACVO) veterinary ophthalmologists. The Eye Certification exam consists of indirect ophthalmoscopy and slit lamp biomicroscopy.
What is Neonatal Encephalopathy?
“Neonatal” refers to the time immediately after birth. “Encephalopathy” refers to a disease affecting the brain. Thus Neonatal Encephalopathy means a disease of the brain that becomes apparent soon after pups are born. Affected pups have been weak, uncoordinated, and mentally dull from birth.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration
Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd) is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder which causes the cells in a dog’s retina to degenerate and die.
The cells of the retina take light coming into the eyes and transmit the information to the brain where it is interpreted as vision. Rod cells, which operate in low light begin to degenerate first, leading to night-blindness. The cone cells which function in bright-light or daytime conditions deteriorate next and the disease often leads to complete blindness over time.
Von Willebrand Disease
Von Willebrand disease (vWD) is an inherited bleeding disorder resulting from a lack or reduced level of a normal blood clotting protein called von Willebrand factor (vWF). Disease presentation varies from asymptomatic to spontaneous hemorrhaging and prolonged bleeding after injury, surgery, or giving birth. Age of onset varies with some dogs only becoming obvious “bleeders” later in life. Without medical intervention, uncontrolled bleeding can result in death.
DNA Test Report
DNA testing for dogs falls into two, potentially related categories – breed identification and identifying potential disease-causing mutations. Identifying a dog’s breed make-up with a DNA test may point to an increased likelihood of particular conditions developing in the future.
