A study by UC Davis showed that there was a prevalence of genetic disorders in both populations (rescue and bred): «Recently derived breeds or those from similar lineages appeared to be more susceptible to certain disorders that affect all closely related purebred dogs, whereas disorders with equal prevalence in the two populations suggested that those disorders represented more ancient mutations that are widely spread through the dog population.»

Merle coloring in Huskies — the result of genetic altering making the undercoat whiter — is not a recognized breed coloring and is frowned upon due to the health risks the mutation can pose for the dog.

In herding breeds of dogs there is a defined mutation called MDR1 - 1 ∆ (multidrug resistance gene), also called ABCB1, which affects P - glycoprotein function.

A possible con is that any collie family dog breed may have a genetic mutation that affects their ability to metabolize some heartworm prevention medications of the ivermectin family (like Proheart or Heartgard).

The way the toy poodle breed (and all other «toy» breeds) came into being was through selective inbreeding of the smallest dogs in the litters; essentially the breeders applied their understanding of how mutations may be caused to engineering a specific mutation into a dominant gene.

Example: Immodium (Loperamide) can be neurotoxoic is some collies and other breeds with MDR1 mutation, using peroxide to induce vomiting is contraindicated in some cases as some things dogs ingest should NOT be vomited up, and peroxide may cause gastritis if over-used (using it 3x as suggested here is a bad idea, and ideally should not be used at all w / o first talking to a vet or a toxicology hotline with knowledge about dogs, peroxide not a good idea at all for cats and 10 mls is NOT a standard dose for every dog!!!!), mineral oil can cause aspiration pneumonia if it gets in the lungs and I would not recommend it to most pet owners to administer, and pepto bismol products sometimes contain xylitol which is deadly, aspirin is OK in a pinch but can cause serious problems with long term use... that's just a few thoughts off the top of my head.

Last October, researchers at the University of California, Davis announced the discovery of a genetic mutation across breeds that is responsible for dogs developing chondrodystrophic features — the shorter legs and abnormal intervertebral discs seen in low - slung, long - bodied dogs.

It is important to never breed two dogs together that carry one or more copies of the mutation, in order to avoid producing offspring that are affected with BFJE.

The mode of inheritance has not been determined precisely but the fact that dogs heterozygous for the KRT71 mutation do not have curls and also the occasional occurrence of dogs with curly hair in breeds with typically straight hair suggests that the curly hair is inherited in a recessive or incompletely dominant mode.

For several breeds, including Dachshund, Portuguese Water Dog, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, and designer breeds based on crosses with the Poodle, that are known to segregate mutations for the KRT71 (curly hair) and the RSPO2 (wire hair and furnishings — a.k.a. «improper coat»), it is advisable to use the Curly hair and the Improper Coat test together in order to have a better predictive power when planning breeding schemes.

The PLL mutation has been identified in many breeds, primarily those of the terrier group, but also includes non-terrier breeds such as the American Eskimo Dog, the Chinese Crested and the Australian Cattle Dog.

When the RSPO2 mutation and the mutation associated with the curly hair trait segregate in a breed, as they do in the Portuguese Water Dog, a variety of coat types can be expected in the progeny: tight curls with furnishings, wavy coats without furnishings and flat coats with no obvious curls or waves.
