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.
