New to you
This is my first posting, I just found this sight and think it's great that there is a site for animal lovers. I have two older dogs, one a border collie X is 12 years old and the other, a dalmation x is 7 1/2 years old. I did have 2 cats but they are both gone, one at 12 and one at 14. I noticed on the breed description that the border collie is subject to something called ceriod lipofuscinosis (there's a mouthful). Can anyone tell me what this is?

[QUOTE=Trisec;387355]a border collie X is 12 years old and the other, a dalmation x is 7 1/2 years old. [/QUOTE]When you call their names "X" and '"x", can they tell the difference? Just joking. Hi.
The main affliction that I know of with Border Collies is that they are workaholics. Joking again. For [B]neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses (NCLs)[/B] (I did a search) - it sounds like this can afflict about 19 breeds and there's a DNA test if you're worried. See [url]http://www.caninegeneticdiseases.net/CL_site/basicCL.htm[/url] From what I read, it sounds like this appears at a pretty young age, so I wouldn't worry. |
