Breed-Specific Articles:
Breed Health Notes: DWN's breed content advisor for Russkiy Toy, Yvonne Sandberg-Åberg...
"Responsible breeders have as minimum parent dogs tested for Luxating Patella as well as Eye screened prior to each mating and do use only healthy dogs in their breeding program.
Russkiy Toy is known as a relatively healthy breed and we want to keep it as such thus health testing prior to breeding is very important.
Some cases with PRA, LCP - Epilepsy - Porta Cava Shunt - Heart issues - Syringomyelia - allergies are known but are very rare to date. Also some blue and lilac dogs are known to have alopecia."
"The most common eye condition ( source SKK and FKK health statistics ) is vitreous prolaps and vitreous degeneration which can only be detected by eye screening."
"No breed specific DNA tests are available to this date but breeders are working with Optigen with the aim identify the mutation for PRA - we depend on owners of dogs diagnosed with PRA to donate blood for Optigen research program for Russkiy Toy."
