No Suz any age young dogs usually die quickly the trials were set at five as this is the age that mature males start to show problems in some cases like Dex he has the problem but is well.
Long may  it stay that way.

im not sure who done the test the vet is also not sure what the results mean (she didnt even no what the test was when lee asked for it) all i no is they took blood and sent it to america???

The vet isnt sure what the results mean???????? affected, clear or carrier, is that not simple enough for him ??? Blood doesnt go to america 😮 it goes over to Sweden, did  she have it done through the Kennel Club?

It said on one of those links that Shetland sheepdogs can be affected by 2 types of von Willebrand’s disease ???
Nothing on the main club web site about testing for it :-\

possibly an american site if it was one of my links.

gsps can get type 2 von willebrands – think they test in america but not over here – as think it so rare there aren’t cases over here. still might be worth while testing though – as presumably will be present in low frequency in population unless they are completely genetically separate.  ???

but think it may be due to different genetic disease prevalence due to different populations in different countries so it may not be a problem over here. if you see what i’m saying? brain scrambled tonight….  :-\

In plain English do you mean different blood lines in other countries, and with American Shelties whole different breed ;D >:D

Thats a very flimsy health page
‘A number of breeders are now getting their breeding stock hip scored’
Beardies can’t be advertised with the club unless they have been hip scored, bet there are not many shelties that are scored.
Took the roughs enough years to say hallo we have a problem that was caused by at least two over used well known studs, that and temperament was why I gave them up.
It’s not common in Shelties lassie Rough would know how common

[Foxisle_crazy]

Bek’s shep  🙂

[.dodger.]

there were some picture’s of a white shepherd called Eris who had just had pups to kooga – i thought i recognized the dog in the picture but i don’t remember bek posting about Eris having a litter ??? ???

[Anonymous]

Oh right, but she not talking about Eris she talking about a friends Dobe, they dont test GSD’s for VWD do they?

[.dodger.]

??? hu why did laura ask if Eris was tested then? sorry i am completely confused 😀

[Foxisle_crazy]

Well i picked this disease out of all of them, simply because it was on here.  She hasn’t been tested for owt except hips.  Thats why she didn’t post about the litter
