Our health testing levels for the East Siberian Laika
We group breeding programs into three levels based on testing depth. Ask your breeder directly which level they meet.
A breeder at the Great level performs all mandatory tests plus 3 additional clinically recommended screenings that reduce risk in this breed.
In addition to mandatory tests:
DNA-Identitätsnachweis
Andere
This is not a hereditary disease, but rather a DNA profiling service used to establish a dog's unique genetic identity. It analyzes specific genetic markers to verify parentage and provide a permanent, tamper-proof identification record. This profile does not affect any organ system or indicate any health issues.
Blutprobe (DNA-Profil) · Passing: Registered
Ocular anomalies
Augen
Ocular anomalies are a group of congenital malformations, meaning they are present from birth, that affect various structures of the dog's eye such as the retina, lens, or cornea. These developmental defects alter the normal structure of the visual system, potentially impacting how light is focused or how the eye functions. The condition is complex and can range from minor physical irregularities to severe structural changes.
Physisch · Passing: CLEAR
Degenerative Myelopathy(DM)
Nervensystem
Degenerative Myelopathy is a progressive disease of the spinal cord where the protective sheath around the nerves slowly breaks down. This deterioration disrupts the vital communication signals between the brain and the muscles of the hind limbs. Over time, this lack of signal transmission leads to a complete loss of muscle control in the back legs.
