We are expecting puppies out of AKC Champion and
Health Tested Parents.
Parents are Thyroid tested
according to OFA (Orthopedic Foundation
for
Animals) guidelines (the complete (8-way test)
and test results are
registered with the OFA and
can be looked up at OFFA.ORG ... please check
out
the site for more information on Thyroid disease
and testing in dogs.
(On the Left under, Disease
Information) Why do we Thyroid Test
our
Schipperkes? Because we think that part of
being responsible breeders is
keeping ourselves
informed on advances in the fields of dog health
&
genetics and using available tests to carefully
screen all breeding stock
to help us have the
healthiest puppies possible. According to the
latest
statistics about 14% of Schipperkes Thyroid
tested had abnormal results...
that's 14% ...
Thyroid problems can lead to all kinds of Skin,
Coat, and
autoimmune problems. Autoimmune
thyroiditis is the most common cause of
primary
hypothyroidism in dogs, and autoantibody formation
(one of the
things looked "for" in the
comprehensive Thyroid test), usually occurs
BEFORE
the dog has clinical signs of thyroid problems...
In other words,
if a breeder tests their breeding
dogs, they will know, probably YEARS
before the
dog actually shows signs of the disease, that it
has the
disease ... Development of autoantibodies
at any time in a dog’s life most
likely means the
dog has the genetic form of the disease. So
testing helps
us guard against breeding dogs that
will have future thyroid and
auto-immune
disorders... and from producing puppies that will
have a
higher chance of having Thyroid problems
because their parents did.
Also, according to
one published study over 70% of dogs with seizures
had
abnormal thyroid results..Please note we
respond to all emails, so if you
do not hear back
from us, please check your spam settings or give
us a
call. |
