10.01.2022 Rottweilers & Great Danes LEMP in Rottweilers is a autosomal recessive central neverous system disease resulting from a 1 basepair insertion within the LEMP gene; cincal signs may develop as early as 1 year of age. All studied Rottweilers homozygous affected (D/D) for this LEMP mutation have shown clinical signs of disease. However, not all Rottweilers with suspected LEMP have tested affected for this mutation. It is possible that these dogs may be suffering from a differe...nt form of LEMP or the other neurodegenerative diseases described in this breed, including - Neuroaxonal Dystropy (NAD). Population testing of >200 Rottweilers indicates that the carrier rate of this mutation is ~8%. Although no affected Great Danes have yet been observed, population testing of >250 Great Danes indicates that the carrier rate of this mutation is ~8%.

08.01.2022 Hi everyone. For anyone wondering the images and videos on here are my boy. Levi only lived for 2years 8 months before I had the heart wrenching decision. Wi...th the amazing work Debbie Rodgers is doing for this condition and trying to spread awareness hoping no one else has to go through what we did. I am hoping that more breeders become aware of the condition and how simple it can be tested for with DNA swab. For e sake of about $50 please get them tested. If anyone has any questions or is experiencing this with their dogs please just message me for support I will always be here to support anyone who needs it because I sure did when we went thought This.

02.01.2022 Leukoencephalomyelopathy (LEMP) A neurological disorder, termed leukoencephalomyelopathy (LEMP) has described in Rottweiler and Leonberger dogs. LEMP is a recessively inherited neurodegenerative disorder that affects the white matter of the central nervous system (CNS). Canine LEMP is characterized by slowly worsening gait abnormalities, especially spontaneous knuckling, dragging of the paws and hypermetria of the thoracic limbs, and a characteristic pattern on magnetic reso...nance imaging (MRI). Affected dogs show corresponding gross lesions in the cervical spinal cord white matter that may extend to the thoracic spinal cord, as well as to the brain; peripheral nerve and muscle biopsies are unremarkable. Canine LEMP often shows a juvenile onset and is characterized by a generalized progressive ataxia. Spinal reflexes of affected dogs are mostly normal. In the progressive clinical course of the disease, affected dogs may become increasingly immobile within a few months. Like many diseases of the CNS, there is no effective treatment for LEMP. Since in most cases the dog is not in pain, but is strongly restricted in its quality of life, owners are encouraged to ask a veterinarian for advice. See more
