Test Overview:

Do not breed affected dogs (homozygous for the SACS deletion) to avoid producing affected puppies. Avoid carrier × carrier matings, which have a 25% risk of producing affected offspring per litter. Breed carriers only to clear (non-carrier) dogs to prevent affected puppies, though some offspring may be carriers. Routine genetic screening is recommended for all breeding Great Pyrenees dogs to identify carrier status and guide responsible breeding. Breed clubs and veterinary genetics organisations may provide specific recommendations to reduce disease prevalence while maintaining genetic diversity.
