It was established later (Johnson et al, 1980) that the form of the disease found in Bedlingtons terriers was apparently caused by the presence of an autosomal recessive gene in affected dogs - it is a genetic disorder and in order for the condition to develop in a dog / bitch a copy of this defective gene must have been passed to the affected animal by both parents, i.e. the affected dog must have two «copies» of the
defective gene in its body cells.
