Clear dogs: no copies of the mutation
bred to a clear dog: 100% of pups clear
bred to a carrier: 50% of pups clear, 50% of pups carriers*
bred to an affected: 100% of pups will be carriers
Carrier dogs: one copy of the mutation
bred to a clear dog: 50% of pups clear, 50% of pups carriers*
bred to a carrier: 25% of pups clear, 50% of pups carriers, 25% of pups affected
bred to an affected: 50% of pups carriers, 50% of pups affected
Affected dogs: two copies of the mutation (breeding is not recommended)
bred to a clear dog: 100% of pups will be carriers
bred to a carrier: 50% of pups carriers, 50% of pups affected
bred to an affected: 100% of pups affected
*puppies from carrier matings can be tested to determine which ones are clear
and which ones are carriers
Since we will not produce any "Affected" puppies, we will not describe the symptoms or
treatments, but it makes interesting reading on the internet. Please feel free to ask if you have
any additional questions about this disease or any other conditions you are concerned about.
We are happy to oblige you.
