The NSW
Southern District Country Border
Collie club wishes to sincerely thank
the owners of the following web pages
for the immense content of information
that they contribute in relation to
hereditary diseases that affect the
Border Collie breed.
We must remind you that these health
problems, although found in the Border
Collie, are not breed specific or
common place within the breed.
In the past decade any occurrence
of any of these health problems has
been strongly addressed by the
responsible breeders, breed clubs and
controlling breed associations.
Our club lists the following
information about known hereditary
diseases that may affect the Border
Collie, so when you speak with a
breeder you are able to address
your concerns before purchasing a
pup.

About
Genetic Science Services and DNA
Testing (Commercial
site)
This web site is posted for
information purposes only
(
The Canine Research
Foundation web site has advised
that it provided
$57,000 for the research into the
identification of the cause of CL
in Border Collies on the condition
that it was not patented and that
the
resulting work would be freely
available within the public
domain.
These monies were raised by a levy on
all pedigree litters registered
in Victoria and the ‘no patenting’
condition was specifically imposed
to
keep the cost of any test subsequently
developed to a
minimum.)
