No, I was looking at the price variation in Dobies and found this announcement, I have on the back of my mind that I would like a Dobie in the future and I'll find a decent breeder, not just assume.
Von Willebrand disease is basically Von Willebrand disease (VWD Short) is not so much a disease as a condition. Of all the inherited bleeding disorders in animals (and humans) is the common. The defect is not autosomal (sex linked) so that both men and women may suffer from the disease. "Remember that just because a dog does not show Symptoms of von Willebrand not mean it can not be a carrier. More specifically, vWD is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by lack of protein von Willebrand factor (vWF short). The vWF factor is a blood protein that binds platelets to blood vessels when they are injured. This protein circulates in the bloodstream and must be present at the site of an injury to blood vessels in order to control bleeding from that vessel. The absence or factor may therefore lead to uncontrolled bleeding episodes. Certain breeds have a higher incidence of von Willebrand disease than others. German Shepherd, Doberman Pinscher, Shetland Sheepdogs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, German Shorthair Pointers, Golden Retrievers, Poodles and Scottish Terriers have a higher incidence normal, indicating that can be inherited. What are the symptoms? Excessive bleeding is the main symptom. The bleeding usually occurs after injury or surgery. In these cases, the blood simply does not clot in the normal time, and the bleeding is extensive. The most common signs of von Willebrand disease are spontaneous bleeding of the gums or nose, blood in the urine or gastrointestinal tract (which can cause the stool or blood have, or be black, tarry stools), or excessive bleeding at the time of surgery. Bleeding into joints may occur, which can cause symptoms similar to arthritis. Other clinical signs include epistaxis, prolonged bleeding or postpartum estrus, hematuria, melena, excessive bleeding after cutting the toe nails, and sometimes bleeding into the cavities and organs the body. How is it diagnosed von Willebrand disease? Diagnosis of Von Willebrand is through a test that checks the level of von Willebrand factor blood. To test their animals, owners simply take a DNA sample from your dog with clean Vetges care provided by cheek swab inside the mouth of the dog the elimination of cells containing DNA. The swabs are then mailed to the laboratory Vetges proof of von Willebrand disease. After testing the sample, Vetges send a summary of the results to owners. The stroke of the cheek is a good example because the cells lining the inside of the cheek of a dog is continuously refurbished with new cells to replace old ones. The cheek swab gently removes some of these old dead cells containing DNA samples for the perfect test.
