In addition to mandatory tests:

• 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.

• Patellar Luxation(PL)

  Bewegungsapparat

  Patellar luxation, also known as a luxating patella, is a physical condition affecting the knee joint where the kneecap slips out of its normal groove. This misalignment interferes with the mechanical movement of the hind leg and can cause the joint to lock. Over time, this abnormal friction can lead to painful joint wear and tear, known as osteoarthritis.

• GM1 Gangliosidosis(GM1)

  Nervensystem

  GM1 gangliosidosis is an inherited lysosomal storage disease that primarily affects the nervous system. It occurs when a deficiency in a specific enzyme, beta-galactosidase, prevents the body from breaking down certain fatty sugar compounds. Over time, these compounds build up to toxic levels inside cells, causing progressive damage to the brain and spinal cord.

• Cystinuria(Cyst-1a)

  Nieren

  Cystinuria is an inherited metabolic disorder affecting the kidneys, where the body fails to reabsorb an amino acid called cystine. Instead of being filtered back into the bloodstream, cystine builds up in the urine. Over time, this high concentration causes the amino acid to crystallize, forming painful stones in the bladder and urinary tract.
