Collie eye anomaly (CEA) is a congenital, inherited, bilateral eye disease of dogs involving the retina, choroid, and sclera. It can be a mild disease or cause blindness. CEA is caused by a simple autosomal recessive gene defect. There is no treatment. Affected breedsIt is known to occur in Smooth and Rough Collies, Shetland Sheepdogs, Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Lancashire Heelers, and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers. Frequency is high in Collies and Shetland Sheepdogs, and low in Border Collies and Duck Tollers. In the United States, incidence in the genotype of collies has been estimated to be as high as 95 percent, with a phenotypic incidence of 80 to 85 percent. From Wikipedia under the

Sure, the dog may have an OFA excellent, but how can you be for sure that dogs not passing on hip problems? ***Genetic*** health testings check the genetics of the dog; genetics never change. A puppy might be born normal, but at 1 year of age it might develop hip dysplasia. Checking the hip is not checking the genetics, so how do you know...? -my mom. My mom does have a point when she asked me that, I did tell her that if you have a long line of OFAd dogs that there is a very slim chance of the puppy getting hip problems. Same goes for the eyes. You CERF the eyes yearly, so that's really not genetic testing.

They ARE genetic tests in that dogs who have HD can pass it along to their offspring. If you look at generations of results you can predict the propensity for bad hips. The results don't change that much over time. If you have a dog with good or excellent hips at 2 years old, they will not be swiss cheese in five or six years without other mitigating factors such as diet, exercise, etc. Nothing is a guarantee- you can only continue to breed dogs with the best results and work at it that way. It's a bad idea to breed dogs with known health issues, but IMO even worse to not know what you have so you can compensate for it.

The numbers following the defect (trait) are the percentage numbers based on defects in the preceding five generation. They aren't really a prediction of problems your dog will have, but lower numbers in predecessors are better. That means less chance of those health issues showing up in your dog. The COI number of 13.2% relates to how inbred your dog is. It is called the coefficient of inbreeding percent or something like that. Lower is better on that percentage too. Do you have an aussie?
