Most of the most serious health maladies in all dogs, including GSPs have no health tests. That is not to say we should not use the ones we have. I understand from Penn, we are about to get a genetic test for Lupoid Dermatosis, so moving in the right direction. I think of various cancers, heart ailments, epilepsy (thought some of us have submitted blood samples from epilepsy related dogs to help move this effort forward) and other less common things. If you hear a rumor, just call the person who owns the dog and ask them if they have ever had a problem you should know about. I remember when, long, long ago, I bred my now long gone "Peggy" to one of Ann King Wallace's boys, Ann made a list of everything she had experienced in her breedings that might be of any concern. I appreciated that. I think we should be very transparent about what we experience in health, temperament, conformation and all other aspects of what might impact breeding. Just me. Nancy Campbell

Nancy,
 
How can you ask about any health issues without getting body slammed from breeders or be threaten with a "Law Suit"?
I too have 2 dogs here that have health issues, but I have, on my own, trace down where the problems is, and no thanks to there breeders.

I think we just pick up the phone and talk with people about what is going on. Every pedigree has way more dogs in it than just the dogs bred to produce that dog. Most of us do talk among ourselves about what problems we have, and it helps not to seem like someone intentionally produced a dog with a malady. Inquiry is very different than blame. When you ask for help with tracing your problem, most will tell you what they know. It is helpful if they can give details of who, where and when, and not just hearsay, as Jennifer posited before. If I had a hermaphrodite from a breeding or an epileptic or SAS, then it cannot be doublted that I have real information. If I simply heard of someone in the pedigree of the dog in question who did, I should refer you on to the person who actually had the issue for clarification. This prevents rumor mongering. The longest journey starts with the first step. Speaking of health, gotta go to the vet. Nancy Campbell

It would be nice to do that but some breeders are in totally denial that there are health issues and then it is up to the person that has the "health issue" to try to figure it out.

Remember. You have to look carefully at all the health issues. Did the animal ingest Senitnel or an overdose on a product like Sentinel? I had a dog that had seizure like symptoms after I gave her Interceptor. It happened one week after and she has not received any since. Vaccinations and pesticides can also cause seizures. 

You also need to look at both sides of the pedigree. Are they both proven lines? Most of us do not have our own lines. Most of us have our foundations and you will find many breeders with some of the same lines. If you breed a proven pedigree with one that is mostly out-crossed, un-health-tested unknown dogs, then that is also where I would take a look and not breed that dog anymore. Also it is good to provide written vet proof of these said issues. I would not breed the unknown pedigree again. And talk to other long time breeders who have the same dogs in their pedigrees and find out if they have had any issues. Most reputable breeders want the same thing. To breed healthy dog and improve the breed through each litter they produce. Breeding is not a perfect science and hopefully down the road, we will be able to test for other issues and weeg then out of the breed completely, Just my thoughts.

You are correct, and it is being investigated in my current seizure dog.  I have been told though that Interceptor will not cause seizures.  Again, we are investigating that possibility.  She was also recently re-vaccinated with no problems and she has not reacted to any of the pestisided I use, other than possibly the Ivermectin Horse wormer from eating the manure after I wormed the horses, which she no longer has access to.  Another possibility for her last episode.  It is an ongoing investigative proccess of elimination.  We have also been changing her medications, which throws in another variable to consider if she has any more problems.

You also need to look at both sides of the pedigree. Are they both proven lines? Most of us do not have our own lines. Most of us have our foundations and you will find many breeders with some of the same lines. If you breed a proven pedigree with one that is mostly out-crossed, un-health-tested unknown dogs, then that is also where I would take a look and not breed that dog anymore.

Breeding is not a perfect science and hopefully down the road, we will be able to test for other issues and weeg then out of the breed completely, Just my thoughts.
 
Again, I agree with your primary point.  I have learned much from other breeders about the lines I have, though I was unable to research some of them as they are no longer in the business or just plain ignored my questions.  I must go by what I have experienced, and that is if I had not included a certain dog in my "program", I probably would not have had any issues, as I did not have any prior to using that dog.  That is where I am coming form, that is what I have experienced, that is my own opinion.  As for using untested dogs, that is in the past.  I have learned much in the past two years and will now test everyone I keep or make sure if I use an outside stud, that he is also cleared, knowing full well that that will not be a guarantee that all will go well.  I have learned that some bloodlines should never be crossed or you risk issues.  If everyone is open an ho! nest about the pups either raised or sired by their dogs and bitches, then share any unfortunate happening, people will learn which lines don't cross well and which do, thus giving everyone a more educated guess as to whether the breeding they are planning will be a good one and allowing for an informed decision as to whether or not to do the breeding.

I am curious here, Anne et al. Is anyone actually under the impression that you can test for epilepsy? You cannot. The diagnosis of epilepsy is a diagnosis of elimination. If no cause can be found, particularly if the seizures cluster and come at relatively predictable intervals, Idiopathic Epilepsy is the diagnosis. Epilepsy of unknown cause. Unknown cause is typically understood to mean heritable, and hence begins the search. The further problem with Epilepsy is that, while the Vizsla research once thought autosomal recessive gene was the cause, it is now known not to be the case. Polygenic inheritance patterns are much harder to search and test for. That is why, if you have a dog with epilepsy, you should contribute blood samples of that dog and its direct relatives to the research endeavors now going on. If everyone does that, we will be closer to a test sooner. Nancy Campbell

"I am curious here, Anne et al. Is anyone actually under the impression that you can test for epilepsy? "
 
I was not refering to the Epilepsy, which is probably what she has, but we are in the process of eliminating any other external possiblilities for the causes of her seizures. 
 
I will be having my vet take blood on her, her mother, her grandmother, her grand aunt and grand uncle, and her sister, as I have access to all of them, to send in for the research team.  Linda sent me the forms and info to do that.  Anne

Sorry. I'm of the thought that if you're around long enough, you'll see one of everything (as per Jim Burns). Either that or you just aren't aware or knowledgeable to know you have the issues.

How can you ask about any health issues without getting body slammed from breeders or be threaten with a "Law Suit"?
I too have 2 dogs here that have health issues, but I have, on my own, trace down where the problems is, and no thanks to there breeders.

What do you do if the breeders in question deny there are any issues in their lines?

I think we just pick up the phone and talk with people about what is going on. Every pedigree has way more dogs in it than just the dogs bred to produce that dog. Most of us do talk among ourselves about what problems we have, and it helps not to seem like someone intentionally produced a dog with a malady. Inquiry is very different than blame. When you ask for help with tracing your problem, most will tell you what they know. It is helpful if they can give details of who, where and when, and not just hearsay, as Jennifer posited before. If I had a hermaphrodite from a breeding or an epileptic or SAS, then it cannot be doublted that I have real information. If I simply heard of someone in the pedigree of the dog in question who did, I should refer you on to the person who actually had the issue for clarification. This prevents rumor mongering. The longest journey starts with the first step. Speaking of health, gotta go to the vet. Nancy Campbell
