🧬 Chondrodystrophy and Chondrodysplasia (CDPA/CDDY, IVDD) is a genetic condition characterized by shortened limbs due to early changes in the structure of growth plates. This condition is prevalent in breeds such as Bulldogs, Corgis, Dachshunds, and Basset Hounds. Affected dogs may also exhibit skeletal features like a protruding lower jaw or an unusually short upper jaw.
Notably, chondrodystrophy increases the risk of intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), leading to potential mobility issues. Studies indicate that dogs with this genetic mutation are 5 to 15 times more likely to experience disc herniation.

For a more comprehensive understanding of chondrodystrophy and its implications, take a look at our new blog post on this condition: https://www.animalabs.com/chondrodystrophy-and-chondrodysplasia-cdpa-cddy-ivdd-/

🐶 As we approach an important hunting dog competition in Croatia, it's time to highlight two incredible breeds: the English Setter and the German Shorthaired Pointer. These versatile hunting dogs are renowned for their tracking and retrieving skills. Did you know the German Shorthaired Pointer has webbed feet, which makes them excellent swimmers, especially useful for waterfowl hunting? Similarly, the English Setter has an exceptional ability to "set" when they locate prey, a trait perfected over centuries.

🧬 To keep these dogs in top shape, genetic testing is essential! Our panels cover key conditions like PRA-RCD4 and MDR1, helping breeders ensure healthier generations.
