Three chromosome areas have been identified that may be related to contributing to epilepsy in the Australian Shepherd breed. Please visit the Research page on our website to read the latest research news. The researchers are working to find the gene (s) causing or contributing to epilepsy in the Australian Shepherd so a screening test can be developed.

If you haven’t already please send in a blood sample on your dog for Dr. Ned Patterson's Aussie epilepsy research study at the University of Minnesota to help us in the fight against canine epilepsy. Please see the information below. Blood samples from affected dogs are particularly needed. If you have any questions please visit our website and/or email us.
