the tibetan spitz club associations, short-termed TSCA is the source of all guidelines to this breed. these are in play
ce to avoid those mixing with other breeds from passing their dogs off as a tibetan spitz. this breed was founded in
1990 and is fairly new to the show and sporting world having just been recognized in 2007. the breed was created
through crossing tibetan mastiffs with akitas and standard american eskimo dogs. these crossings were used to per
fect a smaller yet stronger working dog that would excel in most hunting and guarding of livestock.

the combined traits that were sought from these three breeds created a social and eager to please breed that also
tended to be wary of strangers and protective. their temperament created a versatile dog that most hunters enjoy
ed using when it came to tracking down prey. these dogs were bred for any climate due to their thick double
coats and shorter fur.

it is know that every breed has some health risks they are prone to due to selective breeding. here are all
the genetic diseases and recommended tests by TSCA to perform on dogs prior to breeding. these are mandatory
before a dog can be bred. COPPA Users will automatically be done.

• progressive retinal atrophy (pra)

a late-onset hereditary eye disease. can start occurring as early as one year of age. causes vision loss.
• wt/wt = normal
• wt/m = carrier
• m/m = at risk

• degenerative myelopathy (dm)

late onset, usually around the nine-year mark, affects the spinal cord and muscles. dogs loose coordination
usually first in the rear legs. not painful but the dog will end up losing the ability to walk in most cases.
• wt/wt = normal
• wt/m = carrier
• m/m = at risk

• Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1)

sensitivity to certain classes of drugs, notably the parasiticide ivermectin, as well as certain gastro
protectant and anti-cancer medications, occurs in dogs with mutations in the ABCB1 gene.
• wt/wt = normal
• wt/m = carrier
• m/m = at risk

• hip screening.

at 2 years of age a dog's hips are x-rayed. rating are given from excellent, good, fair, borderline, mild,
moderate, or severe
