As we have seen, veterinarians and their organizations have been engaging significantly in aspects of health in breeds and healthy breeding. Here is a recent position paper, The Role of Health Conscious Breeding and Genetic Testing in Reducing the Impact of Hereditary Disease, from the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA).
The Hereditary Disease Committee of the WSAVA is an IPFD Collaborator.
In this paper health conscious breeding, the role of genetic testing and the importance of genetic counseling are addressed.
