Dear Dr. Kait,
What is your knowledge about life expectancy, challenges with training, or general health of dogs with smaller cerebellums that have been diagnosed with Cerebellar hypoplasia?Â
Thank you,
Angela
Cerebellar hypoplasia is an incomplete development of the cerebellum (a part of the brain). It is a congenital condition, meaning it occurred in utero while the fetus was developing. The cause could be genetic, infection, or can be due to injury or toxins.
Though the condition can occur in any breed, it does have a genetic tie to Airedale Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Beagles, Boston Terriers, Bull Terriers, Chow Chows, Dachshunds, French Bull Dogs, Irish Setters, Labrador Retrievers, Miniature Schnauzers, Pugs, Shiba Inus, Shih Tzus, Silky Terriers, Weimaraners, and Wirehaired Fox Terriers. In these breeds, there is a higher occurrence rate. There is no connection linked to a certain gender though.

Dog owners have long debated which breed is the best-behaved

Anyone who has had a small dog snapping at their feet will declare that the most dinky of pooches often are the most inclined to start a fight.
Now, a new study has found that smaller dogs are almost always more aggressive than their larger counterparts.
Miniature Poodles and Miniature Schnauzers top the list of most aggressive dogs in a new study, published in Scientific Reports.
Larger dogs including Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers and Lapponian Herders were found to be the most docile.
