How does a breeder produce a White collie?

*A White being bred to a White factored collie (A white-factor is a dog that carries the white gene, but is not white itself.)

*A White factored being bred to another White factored

*Or a White being bred to a White

White Collies have no specific health issues due to their coloring.They are perfectly healthy. They are just mostly White instead of mostly colored.But..............

...a disorder of recurring seizures.

Seizures are described as an uncoordinated firing of the neurons usually within a portion of the brain called the cerebrum.

Probably certain substances called neurotransmitters are not in the proper chemical balance, so the nerves do not behave in the normal coordinated fashion.

A dog with epilepsy will exhibit periodic bouts of uncoordinated firing of the neurons within the brain. These episodes are called seizures and occasionally are referred to as convulsions or "fits."

Epilepsy

A partial list of the breeds that show at least some evidence of a genetic predisposition to idiopathic epilepsy include: Beagles, Belgian Tervurens,

Boxers, Cocker Spaniels, Collies, Dachshunds, Dalmatians, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Irish Setters, Irish Wolfhounds, Keeshonden, Labrador Retrievers, Pointers, Poodles (all varieties), Saint Bernards, Schnauzers (miniature and standard), Siberian Huskies, Vizslas, Welsh Springer Spaniels, and Wire Fox Terriers.

The disorder is likely to be recessive because often two parents that are free of epilepsy produce offspring with epilepsy.
