This progressive neurologic condition affects peripheral nerves, which carry signals between the brain and the rest of the body. As these nerves are disrupted, dogs may develop weakness, coordination problems, and changes in movement or sensation.

This eye condition causes degeneration of the retina. Affected dogs typically lose night vision first, followed by progressive vision loss over time.

This condition affects how tooth enamel forms. Teeth may appear yellow, smaller, or more pointed than usual, with wider gaps between them due to uneven or reduced enamel coverage.

This disorder causes the kidneys to leak protein into urine, instead of keeping it in the bloodstream. Over time, this can lead to muscle loss, fluid retention, and a decline in kidney function.

This form of epilepsy causes seizures in young dogs, often starting early in life. The seizures are usually temporary and tend to resolve on their own as the dog matures.

This condition affects how cells break down certain sugars, leading to the accumulation of waste within cells. Over time, this can lead to progressive neurologic signs as brain and nerve cells are affected.

This is a rare condition that affects white blood cell function, making it harder for the body to fight infections. As these cells don’t respond normally, affected dogs are more vulnerable to serious illness.

This is a rare condition that affects white blood cells and platelets, making it harder to fight infections and control bleeding. As these cells don’t respond normally, affected dogs are more vulnerable to serious illness and bleeding.

This condition causes spots on the retina but is not progressive, meaning it usually doesn’t worsen. Most dogs keep their vision, though larger areas can affect sight. New spots typically stop forming by adulthood, and some may even improve over time.

This muscle disorder affects strength and endurance. Affected dogs may tire easily, lose weight, and develop muscle wasting over time as muscle fibers are damaged and gradually replaced with scar tissue.

This disorder impacts the cerebellum, which helps fine-tune movement, balance, and coordination. When it doesn’t function properly, dogs may appear unsteady, uncoordinated, or have trouble with precise movements.

This describes a body type with shorter limbs and a proportionally longer body. It is common in some breeds, and dogs with this build typically remain healthy and active.

This condition is associated with differences in body proportions, such as a longer back and shorter legs, and may increase the risk of spinal disc problems. Disc disease can vary in severity, from mild discomfort to more serious movement changes.

This developmental condition occurs when parts of the lip or roof of the mouth don’t fully fuse before birth. Depending on the area affected, dogs may have a cleft lip, a cleft palate, or both.

This eye condition affects normal eye development. Severity varies, and while some dogs have mild changes, others may have vision impairment.

This condition affects thyroid hormone production from birth. Affected dogs may show slowed growth, low energy, and developmental delays, but many improve with early diagnosis and treatment.

This condition affects the development of the eyes, skin, hair, and nails. Affected dogs may have dry eyes, corneal ulcers, itchy skin, and thick or cracked paw pads.

This condition affects how well dogs see in dim light, often causing night blindness. In some cases, vision loss can worsen over time. It is caused by changes in the retina and the tissue that helps support and protect it.

This condition affects the liver’s ability to remove excess copper. Over time, copper can build up in the liver and damage liver cells. Both genetic and environmental factors play a role in how the condition develops.

This genetic variant may help lessen the effects of copper buildup in dogs that also carry the copper toxicosis risk variant ATP7B. On its own, it is not known to cause health problems.
