Details
The Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCLs) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by accumulation of autofluorescent cytoplasmic antibodies within cells of the nervous system. Affected dogs typically exhibit a condition of cerebellar dysfunction in which voluntary muscular movements tend to result in loss of control and coordination. Blindness, anxiety, and disorientation (12-18 months of age). With progression: eat non-food items, agitation, lack of coordination, increased sleeping

Application in the Breed
Carriers may be bred to normal animals (N/ncl7 x N/N) . Offspring should be tested before breeding. No breeding of two carriers (N/ncl7 x N/ncl7) nor of affected animals (ncl7/ncl7). Blindness, anxiety, and disorientation (12-18 months of age). With progression: eat non-food items, agitation, lack of coordination, increased sleeping
