Specifika chovu a využití border kolií v České republice
Kokešová, Klára
This bachelor thesis focuses on the Border Collie breed, specifics of its breeding, breed standard, possible working and sporting use and the most common diseases in this breed. The practical part focuses on osteochondritis dissecans (OCD), which is a relatively common disease in this breed, but it's not a disabling defect for breeding. Information on a total of 108 individuals is collected by questionnaire and the information found is processed into graphs. The data shows that most of the individuals affected by OCD also have this disease in their ancestors. One of the other interesting obtained information is that most of dogs do not have their results from the examination on the presence or absence of OCD entered in the official Czech database of border collies. This fact represents a complication for future breeding if we want to at least partially prevented this disease. The thesis concludes with recommendations for breeders and owners.

Využití a výcvik ovčáckého psa
ZIKMUNDOVÁ, Michaela
The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of the use of a dog in competitive herding, which is based on the use of a dog on the farm and to verify its ability to control the herd. Furthermore, the thesis describes the characteristics of breeds that are used for herding. The training of the monitored dog was carried out in 5 stages at 2 training centers under the guidance of experienced instructors. In the second phase, the dog passed the unofficial Natural Herding Aptitude Test (NHAT), with the rating "passed" in the Socialization section and "excellent" in the Shepherd Talent section. The training was completed by successful completion of unofficial competition with fourth place out of 12 dogs. The most commonly used dog breeds are Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, and Smooth Collie. The possibility to attend training sessions in several training areas and to consult training with more instructors has a positive effect on the overall training progress. An integral part of the overall performance of the pair is the role of the handler, who must give commands to the dog in time and correctly estimate the situation. When complications occur while training, it is not advisable to force the dog to work, as it might loose interest. At the competition that test the readiness of the dog and the handler, the handler should try to stay calm, as stressed handler might negatively affect the performance of the dog by sending wrong body signals.

Testování mutací genů v asociasci k některým významným dědičným onemocněním u border kolie
KREJČOVÁ, Lenka
This diploma thesis summarizes knowledge of significant genetically contitioned deseases occurring in border collies. There is described a total of 14 diseases, some with the location of causal mutation not yet known. Primary focus of this thesis is g.4411956_4411960delGTTT mutation of gene VPS13B causing Trapped Neuthrophil Syndrome (TNS), MDR1 gene's mutation AF045016.1: c.227_230delATAG associated with multidrug resistance (MDR1) and CUBN gene's mutation c.8392delC which causes intestinal malabsorption of cobalamin by another name ImerslundGräsbeck syndrome (IGS). A genotype analysis of 89 border collies with a proof of origin was performed. The DNA was extracted from buccal mucosal swabs, the isolation of DNA was performed by Chelex-100 from the native material. The analysis was proceeded by optimized PCR-RFLP method using restrictive MboI (MDR1) and Msl I (IGS) enzymes. There were detected 4 g.4411956_4411960delGTTT mutation vectors causing TNS. As for the MDR1 and IGS there wasn't detected any affected case.

Hereditary diseases in Border Collies in the Czech republic
Jírová, Kateřina ; Chmelíková, Eva (advisor) ; Fiala Šebková, Naděžda (referee)
The Border collie breed is becoming very popular in the Czech Republic which is related to the increased possibility of hereditary diseases of the breed. The aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive review of literature on hereditary diseases of Border Collies in the Czech Republic. The thesis focuses on the most common and most monitored defects and diseases affecting Border collies. In particular they are musculoskeletal diseases (hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, shoulder osteochondritis dissecans) eye diseases (progressive retinal atrophy, collie eye anomaly, and primary glaucoma), disease of the white blood cells and diseases of the nervous system (epilepsy, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, multi-drug resistance). In Border collie breeding there is a lack of a complete database with health results of breeder dogs. The only available information provided by Border Collie Club are the results of hip dysplasia, although all dogs must be presented at evaluation with an examination of hereditary eye diseases and since January 1, 2014 also by examination of elbow dysplasia and shoulder joint osteochondritis. As at least one of the parents must be examined in trapped neutrophil syndrome with the TNS normal results, the overall results of this examination should be included in the database. Voluntary examination as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and multi - drug resistance are difficult to monitor but even this information would be useful. Concerning the epilepsy occurrence there is no unofficial voluntary list. The work has proved that despite the higher popularity of the Border collie breed are not burdened by hereditary diseases in the Czech Republic. There are no individuals stricken with progressive retinal atrophy or eye anomaly, nor individuals with trapped neutrophil syndrome or neuronal ceroid lipufuscinosis. The occurrence of hip dysplasia could be decreased. Although 72,9 % of breeding dogs do not suffer from hip dysplasia, the occurrence of the the limit level C, still acceptable for breeding, is 11,9 % and could be certainly higher. It is up to the decision of owners whether to breed such a dog, as well as up to the decision of the Border Collie Club when the limit is decreased.
