Glaucoma ( Gonioscopy 1 off)
HD (Hips Scores av is supposed to be 18 but all breed clubs are in agreement it is probably a lot higher if all dogs were tested and all those tested were submitted)
Hereditary Epilepsy (No known test but work is ongoing with the heath groups here and abroad to try find the genetic marker.)
We also used to test for HC but as we havent had a single instance for ages Geoff Sampson has asked the BVA to take us off the list, and the breed clubs dont have it on there lists any longer.

No common conditions...most exceedingly rare
prcd-1 PRA, now <2%. All breeding stock DNA tested. No matings allowed that produce affected pups.
Hereditary Cataract, around 3%. All breeding stock eye-tested annually. Breeders recommend eye testing for pets as a precaution, but I'm unsure of take-up.
Hip Dysplasia. Not really an issue...scoring is precautionary...BMS in UK is 12
Some Finnish breeders score elbows, it is not mandatory there...and not yet in UK, although it has been discussed.

I thought it may be a good idea to start a thread where people can come on and list possible health issues within breeds,

Hate to add one more to the GSD list but when talking to a friend in another breed yesterday she said her dog had anal furunculosis & she thought this was only found in GSDs, so have to add it to our list.
