What do we test for?

​

Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) - "Degenerative myelopathy is often abbreviated as DM and is a disease that affects the white matter of the spinal cord. With DM, this part of the spinal cord starts to break down, or degenerate, and results in weakness of the hind limbs that eventually progresses to paralysis."

​

Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) - "Von Willebrand's disease (vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder of both humans and dogs. It is caused by a deficiency in the amount of a specific protein needed to help platelets (the blood cells used in clotting) stick together and form clots to seal broken blood vessels."

​

Exercised Induced Collapse (EIC) - Exercise-induced collapse is a genetic neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness, lack of coordination, and life-threatening collapse after intense exercise in otherwise apparently healthy dogs."

​

Cone-Rod Dystrophy 3 (PRA-crd3) - "Atrophy means the partial or complete wasting or deterioration of a body part. Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) is a group of degenerative diseases that affect photoreceptor cells. With this disease, the cells deteriorate over time, eventually leading to blindness in the affected dog."

​

**Please note: most Corgis do carry at least ONE copy of one of these listed, however, they are not AT RISK. Make sure with your breeder that the parents health testing is compatible with each other so your puppy won't carry two copies (two copies means AT RISK).**
