Haemophilia and How it can Affect a White Shepherd
Haemophilia is a hereditary blood defect that can be seen in the white shepherd breed.
It is characterised by delayed clotting of the blood and failure of bleeding to stop even after small injuries.
Signs may include excessive bleeding from the gums when getting adult teeth, and bruises in the area of hindleg, the knee joint and the chest (as a result of a broken blood vessel), deep muscle bleeding, bloody diarrhea, and sudden early death.
Dogs with a history of haemophilia should not be bred with. (more information coming soon)
