No dogs will perfectly fit the original Scottish Collie Standards, but by assessing the dogs critically against the amalgamated version of the three early Standards, we will be better able to choose mates whose strengths compensate for identified weaknesses. Each evaluated dog will receive a Score Card identifying strengths and weaknesses to assist the Owner/Breeder in selection of suitable mates for breeding.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />The same is true of working to eliminate the most common of the genetically carried diseases to which the Collie is prone, such as CEA and MDR1. If a breeder has a dog or bitch which is Affected, and so is carrying two mutant genes for any of the Collie panel of diseases, he/she must make every effort possible to breed in such a way as to begin to breed away from these mutant genes by finding a mate whose genes can begin to correct the problem, thereby raising offspring to the level of unaffected, but Carrier, with the eventual goal being the elimination of these mutant genes from the Scottish Collie gene pool.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />All dogs’ pedigrees will be kept and maintained by the SCPS, as well as records for: health, genetic testing, breeding, and litter registration of all eligible Scottish Collie puppies.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Records will be maintained in an online website database which may be viewed by the public.

The Scottish Collie of that era was so useful, and so beautiful, that it became the most easily recognizable breed of dog. It will be the job of our Members to return this historic breed to its former great temperament, its original functional form, its classic beauty, great health, and stamina, and its usefulness, so that the Scottish Collie can once again become North America’s favorite breed of dog.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />ARTICLE 4.  MEETINGS<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />The SCPS Annual Meeting (\"Annual Meeting\") will be held annually on a date, and at a time, and in a place decided upon by the Board of Directors at least two months prior to the Meeting date.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Every Member in good standing shall be invited to these Annual Meetings via email notification, unless otherwise previously arranged.

PURPOSE<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />The purpose of the SCPS is to preserve and revive the breed of the Scottish Rough and Smooth Collie as described in the various ancient standards for the Collie breed from: <a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fff2cc;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/the-scottish-collie-clubs-standard-1885.html\">The Scottish Collie Standard - 1885</a>, <a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fff2cc;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/the-english-clubs-revised-standard-1898.html\">English Club’s Revised Collie Standard - 1898</a>, and the <a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify; background-color: #fff2cc;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/revised-rough-and-smooth-collie-standard-1910.html\">Revised Rough and Smooth Collie Standard – 1910</a>.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />This group intends to return the Scottish Collie to its original form, health, and vigor, with form fitted to its function of sheepherding by means of careful breeding, which provides for genetic diversity and selection of genetically-tested dogs and bitches resembling the dogs described in the earliest Standards of the breed.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />The SCPS will endeavor to popularize this breed and help it regain favor with the public and with agricultural groups.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />It is understood that achieving these ends is a process not a starting point. No dogs will perfectly fit the original Scottish Collie Standards, but by assessing the dogs critically against the amalgamated version of the three early Standards, we will be better able to choose mates whose strengths compensate for identified weaknesses. Each evaluated dog will receive a Score Card identifying strengths and weaknesses to assist the Owner/Breeder in selection of suitable mates for breeding.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />The same is true of working to eliminate the most common of the genetically carried diseases to which the Collie is prone, such as CEA and MDR1. If a breeder has a dog or bitch which is Affected, and so is carrying two mutant genes for any of the Collie panel of diseases, he/she must make every effort possible to breed in such a way as to begin to breed away from these mutant genes by finding a mate whose genes can begin to correct the problem, thereby raising offspring to the level of unaffected, but Carrier, with the eventual goal being the elimination of these mutant genes from the Scottish Collie gene pool.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />All dogs’ pedigrees will be kept and maintained by the SCPS, as well as records for: health, genetic testing, breeding, and litter registration of all eligible Scottish Collie puppies.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Records will be maintained in an online website database which may be viewed by the public. Entries will be the responsibility of the Registrar.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Admission of dogs to the registry will be based on evaluation and approval by a committee of three, including the Registrar, and appointed by the Board of Directors.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Evaluations will be based on a published list of criteria to include at least the following:</p><ul style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify; margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">A similarity to old Scottish Collie type as described in the original 1885 to 1910 Standards.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Proof of at least beginning, and a commitment to, further genetic testing for all breeding dogs, or proof that the dog\'s genetic status is known and Clear by Parentage.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">A Veterinarian\'s certificate of good health for each dog admitted.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Good temperament - not aggressive with either other dogs or people, although warning/alerting or guarding of his owner\'s property is acceptable.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">It will highly desirable if herding instinct or working ability is known.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Dogs may be double- or triple- (Multiple-) registered with other collie, breed, or working collie registries.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">All dogs evaluated for admission to the SCPS Registry will receive, in written form, a critique of their dog, noting strengths and weaknesses when compared to the SCPS Standard.</li></ul><p><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Evaluation will assist the Breeder/Owner in selecting a suitable mate strong in the areas in which their dog is weakest.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Genetic testing will be required to assist the Breeder/Owner to choose a mate whose genetic makeup will compensate for mutant genes in his own dog or bitch.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Genetic diversity must be considered in choosing a mate and Co-efficient of Inbreeding (COI) will be tracked within the pedigree database and be automatically published there.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Breeding to suitable mates within the Collie landrace, which will bring the breeder’s dogs’ offspring closer to the SCPS Standard, will be considered desirable. Males or females from the Collie landrace used for breeding are eligible for Registration through the same evaluation process as any other dog.

Our Members will be people keenly interested in, and dedicated to, preserving the classic type of useful collie: a Collie moderate in all physical attributes as outlined in the earliest Scottish Collie Standards of 1885 to 1910. <br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Members will have as their ultimate goal returning the Scottish Collie breed, as closely as is possible, to the type, character, and working ability of the early Collie of the Highlands of Scotland. The Scottish Collie of that era was so useful, and so beautiful, that it became the most easily recognizable breed of dog. It will be the job of our Members to return this historic breed to its former great temperament, its original functional form, its classic beauty, great health, and stamina, and its usefulness, so that the Scottish Collie can once again become North America’s favorite breed of dog.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />ARTICLE 4.  MEETINGS<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />The SCPS Annual Meeting (\"Annual Meeting\") will be held annually on a date, and at a time, and in a place decided upon by the Board of Directors at least two months prior to the Meeting date.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Every Member in good standing shall be invited to these Annual Meetings via email notification, unless otherwise previously arranged. In these few prearranged cases, postal notification may be used, if requested, in advance.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />The Annual Meeting will be held at a predetermined venue, and provision will be made for electronic teleconferencing, or video conferencing, for Members unable to travel to the meeting. Because Members will be spread all over North America and possibly other locations around the world, efforts will be made to hold meetings in a location central to the greatest concentration of Members for the first three years.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />If, subsequently, members decide that it would be helpful to vary the Annual Meeting location to give both eastern and western members a chance to attend more easily, that can be decided at the Annual Meeting by a simple majority vote.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />For voting purposes at the Annual Meeting, a quorum shall be comprised of those Members in attendance, both those physically present, and those Members linked in by electronic conferencing methods.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />ARTICLE 5. VOTING<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />The election of Executive Officers will be carried out by the Board of Directors, with two Executive Officer positions up for election or re-election each year. If the incumbent is nominated to run again for his former position, he may do so as these By-Laws do not limit the number of terms a Director or Executive Officer may serve.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />After three years, all positions will have been renewed through an election process.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />A simple majority of votes cast shall decide all issues voted on, unless noted as exceptions within these SCPS By-Laws.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Election of Board of Directors shall be by an electronic balloting system as decided upon by the Board of Directors.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />Election of Executive Officers and Board Members are to be held in the appropriate years, as identified by adherence to these same SCPS By-Laws, and will be held prior to the Annual Meeting to enable installation and swearing in of the newly-elected Executive Officers and Board Members at the Annual Meeting.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />For all votes decided by ballot, rather than an electronic balloting system, the Board of Directors shall appoint, in advance, a committee of three members to count the ballots. This election committee of three shall, after counting the ballots, report the results of the vote in writing to the Board of Directors. The certification of the vote shall be included in the Minutes of the meeting.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />If numbers are insufficient for a committee of three to be appointed, or if the voting is contracted to an electronic voting system, then one person from the membership shall be appointed, and shall assume these duties and responsibilities. No person standing for election may serve as Election Officer for that election process.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.32px; text-align: justify;\" />ARTICLE 6.

Why was the Scottish Collie Preservation Society formed?</strong><br />The Scottish Collie Preservation Society (SCPS) was formed in 2016 as an <strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">International Registry</strong> to preserve the original working farm collie that was used in the Scottish Highlands more than 100 years ago. SCPS selected to work off the earliest Scottish Collie Standards in the late 1800\'s-early 1900\'s and breed true to those Standards in order to revive the classic Scottish Collie breed.  Up until the 1950’s the Collie Standard was adhered to reasonably faithfully but due to modernization of the breed, the Rough Collie has taken the Scottish Collie in a different direction. <br /><br />The Scottish Collie should resemble a Rough or Smooth Collie. He should have a form which perfectly fits the function for which he was first bred, herding and guarding his flock of sheep (as described in the earliest Standards). The Collie had wonderful qualities bred-in over many hundreds of years such as herding instincts, loyalty, intelligence and a willingness to please his master and the versatility to perform many tasks.<br /><br />The Scottish Collie was once one of the healthiest, most versatile, and well known breeds of all dog world (Lassie is still the most well known dog globally). Unfortunately, today collies are rarely referred to as a true working breed and are difficult to find in most homes and farms. To restore the collie to it original standing is the goal of this group.<br /><br />2.  Is SCPS a registered Non-profit business?<br />Yes, SCPS is registered as a 501 (c) (3), Non-Profit Organization. SCPS is headquartered out of the state of Pennsylvania and is run by an elected volunteer Board of Directors.<br /><br /><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">3. Do you register only breeding dogs or can I register my dog who is spayed/</strong><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">neutered?</strong><br /> While we provide registration for breeding dogs, we also offer an expressed registry to allow owners to register their collies with SCPS who will not be used for breeding but can participate in our Annual SCPS Conferences, Versatility program or Working Collie Competition or who just want to be ambassadors for the Scottish Collie breed and part of our efforts.<br /> <br />3. Will I have a say as a Member in how the SCPS is run? How can I be sure of this?<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">You will certainly have a say because the groundwork has been completed in the form of officially adopted SCPS By-Laws and the Code of Ethics, both of which are posted on the SCPS website.

What are the benefits of membership in the SCPS?<br>The Benefits of belonging to such a group as SCPS are numerous indeed. When you register as a member you will be joining an organization dedicated to breeding healthy, genetically tested and genetically diverse, old type classic, Scottish Collies.<br>Remember Lassie (Pal)? Lassie/Pal was actually a male Rough Collie, or Scottish Collie, as they were called in the 1940’s and 50’s, who won the hearts of all. Pal lived to be 18 years old,&nbsp;then died of old age, being healthy right to the end. We plan to go “Back to the Future” and breed again just such very healthy, beautiful, clever Collies as Lassie surely was, with not too much of anything, nor too little, but just right.</p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\">\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">As a Member, you will be&nbsp;eligible to apply for registration&nbsp;of your dog(s) and any litters of puppies.*</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be assisted with&nbsp;Breeding Advice, and you will be provided with a summary &nbsp;for your dog outlining what you need to find in a mate and identifying strengths and weaknesses.&nbsp;<br>You will be provided with a&nbsp;Summary Evaluation&nbsp;that outlines your Dog\'s strengths and weaknesses, in order to assist you in finding a well-suited mate.</li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will gain access to our UC Davis/Betterbred Genetic Testing Program and Genetic based breeding tools.&nbsp;<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.betterbred.com/breedpage/?link=35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.betterbred.com/breedpage/?link=35</a></li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be eligible&nbsp;to&nbsp;advertise your puppies and Kennel&nbsp;through our Website and Facebook pages.</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Breeders may&nbsp;register their&nbsp;Kennel name&nbsp;or prefix at&nbsp;no cost, and have a&nbsp;Kennel page in our online registry. &nbsp;</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be&nbsp;welcomed to our dedicated and enthusiastic group&nbsp;where all are entitled to state their views in positive and constructive ways (see our&nbsp;<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/code-of-ethics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code of Ethics</a>).

This is in the Collie’s DNA, and has so long been a part of this breed that most Collies know what to do instinctively. If we are to truly preserve this noble breed, we must preserve not just its appearance, but also the very essence of its character, intelligence, and willingness to help man in the care of his livestock. Only in this way will the Collie be fulfilling the function for which they were bred for thousands of years. </li></ul><br />12.

What is the Breeding Certification Program, and why should I bother getting my dog Certified?<br />The SCPS Breeding Certification Program signifies that the SCPS recognizes your dog as being fit to breed and it has been suitably matched to; correct weaknesses, compensate for identified mutant genes, and to lower the Co-efficient of Inbreeding (COI), so is bred to a low COI, unrelated mate.<br /> An SCPS Breeding Certified Dog/Bitch will:<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Be genetically tested prior to the first breeding for at least CEA and MDR1</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Be genetically tested prior to the second breeding for at least CN, DM, and vWD II (see Genetics)</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Not have whelped more than three litters in her lifetime. (For the sake of the bitch\'s health, four is the maximum number of litters allowable per female dog in her lifetime.)</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Have been certified as healthy and sound by a Veterinarian, prior to submitting the Registration Application.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Approximate the SCPS Standard with an Evaluation Score of at least 50% .</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Will be bred to unrelated mates, preferably with a low COI, to maximize reduction of the COI in the litter being produced.</li></ul>If a dog has a very high COI of 20% or 25% should be bred to a completely unrelated dog, preferably one with a COI of 0%. This would be the ideal and provide the maximum reduction possible in COI in the resultant litter.<br />Breeders must try to match dogs so as to correct identified weaknesses, and compensate for genetic mutations with a goal of elimination of the diseases caused by mutant genes.  Our goal is to eventually reduce COI to as near 0% as we can for all dogs in the SCPS Registry. This will ensure the survival of the breed.<br />WHY?<br />Science and research tell us that COI rates of 5% or higher, place the breed on “the path to extinction.”  The goal of SCPS is the Preservation of the Scottish Collie.<br />Why Bother Certifying?<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Your puppies can be automatically registered as a litter at a very low cost of $30 within the first 21 days following whelping.

Why is line-breeding, or inbreeding, not allowed in this organization when kennel clubs and other dog clubs have been line-breeding and inbreeding for a long, long time? What are the consequences of Inbreeding or a high Co-efficient of Inbreeding also known as COI ? <ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Line-breeding and inbreeding are responsible for the greater prevalence of inherited diseases specific to each breed of dog.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Inbreeding leads to homozygous dogs (genetic makeup of the dog lacks diversity) whose immune systems are compromised, leaving them vulnerable to many diseases, such as cancer, allergies, auto immune diseases and other serious conditions, such as digestive and liver problems.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Length of lifespan is also directly correlated to the degree of inbreeding or COI.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Temperament directly correlates to the degree of inbreeding. Aggressive behavior, timidity, nervousness, hyperactivity, or other temperament problems uncharacteristic of the traditional Collie temperament can be traced to close inbreeding and high COI.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">A further consequence of high levels of inbreeding is infertility. It is Nature’s way of shutting down an unhealthy line or strain. This has been observed among wild canines, such as wolves. A population can become too small to provide the genetic diversity required for healthy immune systems and heterozygous pups. The signs in dogs, or any canine population which becomes inbred, are smaller litters, failure of pups to survive, failure to conceive, and inability to produce a healthy litter in a natural delivery.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Any breed or group with a COI of 5% or higher is already on the pathway to extinction.</li></ul>So you can easily see what is to be gained for our beloved Scottish Collie in terms of all health issues by aiming ultimately for a Co-efficient of Inbreeding of 0%.  Our reason for being is for the Scottish Collie to be healthy, have a strong immune system, good temperament, produce large healthy litters, with a good long lifespan, free of all sorts of common health problems caused by a weak immune system. We will be working continuously to reduce COI to 0%. Happily, some of our Scottish Collies are starting there. We are assuring that the classic Scottish Collie breed will have a future!		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>GENETIC TESTING</strong></h2> 16. Why the big push for genetic testing?<br />Line-breeding has been practiced by most breeders of the twentieth century. There has been an over-use of popular sires, too many repeats in the pedigrees, and the breeding of closely related dogs has been considered acceptable to establish type.<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">At least five diseases common to the Collie are caused by recessive mutant genes. These mutant (abnormal) genes have spread like wildfire throughout the whole Collie landrace worldwide during the last century. Some are even traceable going back through the generations to a single dog.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">All mutations do originate in just one dog. It takes two copies of the mutant recessive gene, one from each parent, to create a puppy which is Affected with two Mutant genes.  As long as there is no inbreeding, these mutant genes do no harm.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Genetic markers have been found for all of the serious diseases afflicting the Collie landrace, so we are able to test our dogs with a simple cheek swab to identify a dog\'s disease profile.  Through testing, a Breeder knows if his dog is completely Clear of a particular mutation; if it is Not Affected by the mutation, but carries one copy of the gene (referred to as \"Carriers\"); or if his dog carries two copies of the mutant gene making them at-risk for the disease (\"Affected\"), and are only able to pass on mutant genes to their offspring.</li></ul>Breeding decisions must be based upon breeding up and away from these mutations if we are serious about eliminating these health problems for the Collie.  We are serious about our responsibility to the noble breed which has served Man so well since time immemorial.<br /><br />17. Why were CEA and MDR1 chosen specifically to test for first?<br />CEA and MDR1 are both very prevalent throughout the Collie landrace worldwide.		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>CEA - Collie eye anomaly</strong></h2><ul style=\"color: #535252; margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">5% of Collies worldwide are CEA n/n, or genetically free of the mutant CEA gene. These Clear for CEA dogs cannot produce a puppy Affected by CEA no matter what the status of the other parent; so this, of course, is our goal.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">15% of all Collie landrace dogs are Carriers, or CEA n/m.  If two carriers are mated they will produce approximately 25% Clear for CEA n/n pups, 25% Affected for CEA m/m pups, and about 50% Carriers or CEA n/m, like their parents and will carry one good gene and one mutant gene.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">80% of all Collies will be CEA m/m. This means that they are genetically Affected, but may not be clinically affected. In a very small percentage of these affected dogs, clinical examination will reveal a large coloboma (or hole) close to the optic nerve, or a hemorrhage; in these few instances a detached retina and blindness is the end result. So although most dogs who are CEA m/m will not have their vision affected, it is very important to have them checked at 6 to 8 weeks by a canine Veterinary Ophthalmologist to find out what exactly are the results in each pup of the CEA Affected status, so that you will know with certainty what the prognosis will be for each pup.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">SCPS wishes to eradicate CEA. It can be done with genetic testing and planned breeding using the test results to guide choice of mates for breeding. If it prevents the birth of one puppy born blind, it will have been worthwhile. It is the right thing to do for this wonderful breed.</li></ul>		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>MDR1 - Multi-drug resistance</strong></h2><ul style=\"color: #535252; margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Again this problem is caused by a mutant recessive gene.

Why was the Scottish Collie Preservation Society formed?</strong><br />The Scottish Collie Preservation Society (SCPS) was formed in 2016 as an <strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">International Registry</strong> to preserve the original working farm collie that was used in the Scottish Highlands more than 100 years ago. SCPS selected to work off the earliest Scottish Collie Standards in the late 1800\'s-early 1900\'s and breed true to those Standards in order to revive the classic Scottish Collie breed.  Up until the 1950’s the Collie Standard was adhered to reasonably faithfully but due to modernization of the breed, the Rough Collie has taken the Scottish Collie in a different direction. <br /><br />The Scottish Collie should resemble a Rough or Smooth Collie. He should have a form which perfectly fits the function for which he was first bred, herding and guarding his flock of sheep (as described in the earliest Standards). The Collie had wonderful qualities bred-in over many hundreds of years such as herding instincts, loyalty, intelligence and a willingness to please his master and the versatility to perform many tasks.<br /><br />The Scottish Collie was once one of the healthiest, most versatile, and well known breeds of all dog world (Lassie is still the most well known dog globally). Unfortunately, today collies are rarely referred to as a true working breed and are difficult to find in most homes and farms. To restore the collie to it original standing is the goal of this group.<br /><br />2.  Is SCPS a registered Non-profit business?<br />Yes, SCPS is registered as a 501 (c) (3), Non-Profit Organization. SCPS is headquartered out of the state of Pennsylvania and is run by an elected volunteer Board of Directors.<br /><br /><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">3. Do you register only breeding dogs or can I register my dog who is spayed/</strong><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">neutered?</strong><br /> While we provide registration for breeding dogs, we also offer an expressed registry to allow owners to register their collies with SCPS who will not be used for breeding but can participate in our Annual SCPS Conferences, Versatility program or Working Collie Competition or who just want to be ambassadors for the Scottish Collie breed and part of our efforts.<br /> <br />3. Will I have a say as a Member in how the SCPS is run? How can I be sure of this?<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">You will certainly have a say because the groundwork has been completed in the form of officially adopted SCPS By-Laws and the Code of Ethics, both of which are posted on the SCPS website.

Lassie/Pal was actually a male Rough Collie, or Scottish Collie, as they were called in the 1940’s and 50’s, who won the hearts of all. Pal lived to be 18 years old,&nbsp;then died of old age, being healthy right to the end. We plan to go “Back to the Future” and breed again just such very healthy, beautiful, clever Collies as Lassie surely was, with not too much of anything, nor too little, but just right.</p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\">\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">As a Member, you will be&nbsp;eligible to apply for registration&nbsp;of your dog(s) and any litters of puppies.*</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be assisted with&nbsp;Breeding Advice, and you will be provided with a summary &nbsp;for your dog outlining what you need to find in a mate and identifying strengths and weaknesses.&nbsp;<br>You will be provided with a&nbsp;Summary Evaluation&nbsp;that outlines your Dog\'s strengths and weaknesses, in order to assist you in finding a well-suited mate.</li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will gain access to our UC Davis/Betterbred Genetic Testing Program and Genetic based breeding tools.&nbsp;<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.betterbred.com/breedpage/?link=35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.betterbred.com/breedpage/?link=35</a></li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be eligible&nbsp;to&nbsp;advertise your puppies and Kennel&nbsp;through our Website and Facebook pages.</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Breeders may&nbsp;register their&nbsp;Kennel name&nbsp;or prefix at&nbsp;no cost, and have a&nbsp;Kennel page in our online registry. &nbsp;</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be&nbsp;welcomed to our dedicated and enthusiastic group&nbsp;where all are entitled to state their views in positive and constructive ways (see our&nbsp;<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/code-of-ethics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code of Ethics</a>).

This is in the Collie’s DNA, and has so long been a part of this breed that most Collies know what to do instinctively. If we are to truly preserve this noble breed, we must preserve not just its appearance, but also the very essence of its character, intelligence, and willingness to help man in the care of his livestock. Only in this way will the Collie be fulfilling the function for which they were bred for thousands of years. </li></ul><br />12.

Must breeders test their breeding dogs for all the Collie diseases at once? Isn\'t this expensive? How can I afford to test my dogs?<br />The Scottish Collie Disease Panel has been split into two parts:<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Essential: includes Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) and Multi-drug Resistance (MDR1).<br />Both parents must be tested before the first breeding.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Supplementary: includes Cyclic Neutropenia (CN), Degenerative Myelitis (DM), and Von Willebrand\'s Disease II (vWDII).<br />This panel must be completed before the second breeding.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">For more information, please see our page <a style=\"color: inherit; text-decoration: none; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition: opacity 200ms ease-in-out 0s;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/genetic-testing-why.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genetic Testing &amp; Why.</a></li></ul>We have partnered with <a style=\"color: inherit; text-decoration: none; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition: opacity 200ms ease-in-out 0s;\" href=\"http://www.pawprintgenetics.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paw Print Genetics</a> to assist our Members in easing the cost of testing.  Their generosity allows SCPS Members to save 40% off either panel at any time.

What is the Breeding Certification Program, and why should I bother getting my dog Certified?<br />The SCPS Breeding Certification Program signifies that the SCPS recognizes your dog as being fit to breed and it has been suitably matched to; correct weaknesses, compensate for identified mutant genes, and to lower the Co-efficient of Inbreeding (COI), so is bred to a low COI, unrelated mate.<br /> An SCPS Breeding Certified Dog/Bitch will:<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Be genetically tested prior to the first breeding for at least CEA and MDR1</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Be genetically tested prior to the second breeding for at least CN, DM, and vWD II (see Genetics)</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Not have whelped more than three litters in her lifetime. (For the sake of the bitch\'s health, four is the maximum number of litters allowable per female dog in her lifetime.)</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Have been certified as healthy and sound by a Veterinarian, prior to submitting the Registration Application.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Approximate the SCPS Standard with an Evaluation Score of at least 50% .</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Will be bred to unrelated mates, preferably with a low COI, to maximize reduction of the COI in the litter being produced.</li></ul>If a dog has a very high COI of 20% or 25% should be bred to a completely unrelated dog, preferably one with a COI of 0%. This would be the ideal and provide the maximum reduction possible in COI in the resultant litter.<br />Breeders must try to match dogs so as to correct identified weaknesses, and compensate for genetic mutations with a goal of elimination of the diseases caused by mutant genes.  Our goal is to eventually reduce COI to as near 0% as we can for all dogs in the SCPS Registry. This will ensure the survival of the breed.<br />WHY?<br />Science and research tell us that COI rates of 5% or higher, place the breed on “the path to extinction.”  The goal of SCPS is the Preservation of the Scottish Collie.<br />Why Bother Certifying?<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Your puppies can be automatically registered as a litter at a very low cost of $30 within the first 21 days following whelping.

Why is line-breeding, or inbreeding, not allowed in this organization when kennel clubs and other dog clubs have been line-breeding and inbreeding for a long, long time? What are the consequences of Inbreeding or a high Co-efficient of Inbreeding also known as COI ? <ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Line-breeding and inbreeding are responsible for the greater prevalence of inherited diseases specific to each breed of dog.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Inbreeding leads to homozygous dogs (genetic makeup of the dog lacks diversity) whose immune systems are compromised, leaving them vulnerable to many diseases, such as cancer, allergies, auto immune diseases and other serious conditions, such as digestive and liver problems.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Length of lifespan is also directly correlated to the degree of inbreeding or COI.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Temperament directly correlates to the degree of inbreeding. Aggressive behavior, timidity, nervousness, hyperactivity, or other temperament problems uncharacteristic of the traditional Collie temperament can be traced to close inbreeding and high COI.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">A further consequence of high levels of inbreeding is infertility. It is Nature’s way of shutting down an unhealthy line or strain. This has been observed among wild canines, such as wolves. A population can become too small to provide the genetic diversity required for healthy immune systems and heterozygous pups. The signs in dogs, or any canine population which becomes inbred, are smaller litters, failure of pups to survive, failure to conceive, and inability to produce a healthy litter in a natural delivery.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Any breed or group with a COI of 5% or higher is already on the pathway to extinction.</li></ul>So you can easily see what is to be gained for our beloved Scottish Collie in terms of all health issues by aiming ultimately for a Co-efficient of Inbreeding of 0%.  Our reason for being is for the Scottish Collie to be healthy, have a strong immune system, good temperament, produce large healthy litters, with a good long lifespan, free of all sorts of common health problems caused by a weak immune system. We will be working continuously to reduce COI to 0%. Happily, some of our Scottish Collies are starting there. We are assuring that the classic Scottish Collie breed will have a future!		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>GENETIC TESTING</strong></h2> 16. Why the big push for genetic testing?<br />Line-breeding has been practiced by most breeders of the twentieth century. There has been an over-use of popular sires, too many repeats in the pedigrees, and the breeding of closely related dogs has been considered acceptable to establish type.<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">At least five diseases common to the Collie are caused by recessive mutant genes. These mutant (abnormal) genes have spread like wildfire throughout the whole Collie landrace worldwide during the last century. Some are even traceable going back through the generations to a single dog.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">All mutations do originate in just one dog. It takes two copies of the mutant recessive gene, one from each parent, to create a puppy which is Affected with two Mutant genes.  As long as there is no inbreeding, these mutant genes do no harm.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Genetic markers have been found for all of the serious diseases afflicting the Collie landrace, so we are able to test our dogs with a simple cheek swab to identify a dog\'s disease profile.  Through testing, a Breeder knows if his dog is completely Clear of a particular mutation; if it is Not Affected by the mutation, but carries one copy of the gene (referred to as \"Carriers\"); or if his dog carries two copies of the mutant gene making them at-risk for the disease (\"Affected\"), and are only able to pass on mutant genes to their offspring.</li></ul>Breeding decisions must be based upon breeding up and away from these mutations if we are serious about eliminating these health problems for the Collie.  We are serious about our responsibility to the noble breed which has served Man so well since time immemorial.<br /><br />17. Why were CEA and MDR1 chosen specifically to test for first?<br />CEA and MDR1 are both very prevalent throughout the Collie landrace worldwide.		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>CEA - Collie eye anomaly</strong></h2><ul style=\"color: #535252; margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">5% of Collies worldwide are CEA n/n, or genetically free of the mutant CEA gene. These Clear for CEA dogs cannot produce a puppy Affected by CEA no matter what the status of the other parent; so this, of course, is our goal.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">15% of all Collie landrace dogs are Carriers, or CEA n/m.  If two carriers are mated they will produce approximately 25% Clear for CEA n/n pups, 25% Affected for CEA m/m pups, and about 50% Carriers or CEA n/m, like their parents and will carry one good gene and one mutant gene.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">80% of all Collies will be CEA m/m. This means that they are genetically Affected, but may not be clinically affected. In a very small percentage of these affected dogs, clinical examination will reveal a large coloboma (or hole) close to the optic nerve, or a hemorrhage; in these few instances a detached retina and blindness is the end result. So although most dogs who are CEA m/m will not have their vision affected, it is very important to have them checked at 6 to 8 weeks by a canine Veterinary Ophthalmologist to find out what exactly are the results in each pup of the CEA Affected status, so that you will know with certainty what the prognosis will be for each pup.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">SCPS wishes to eradicate CEA. It can be done with genetic testing and planned breeding using the test results to guide choice of mates for breeding. If it prevents the birth of one puppy born blind, it will have been worthwhile. It is the right thing to do for this wonderful breed.</li></ul>		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>MDR1 - Multi-drug resistance</strong></h2><ul style=\"color: #535252; margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Again this problem is caused by a mutant recessive gene.
