After extensive communication with Embark over the last year, they have finally added DSRA to their test panel! If you previously tested your dog will the v7 test version, it will backfill with DSRA test results. If you tested prior to the v7 version, unfortunately you will have to retest ordering the complete panel. Embark will be offering a discount. Below is FAQs from Embark, you can also reach out to them for any additional questions.
Additionally, you can still test DSRA via blood sample through the University of Missouri, with the attached form. The University of Missouri is working on making testing available via buccal swab in the coming weeks. More information to follow as available. Dr. Raney Commet continues to work with other companies to add DSRA to their test panels so Cane Corso owners will have several options, watch for those updates coming soon. What is Dental-Skeletal-Retinal Anomaly (DSRA)? Dental-Skeletal-Retinal Anomaly (DSRA) is a type of skeletal abnormality affecting the teeth, eyes, and growth of affected dogs. This variant was first described in the Cane Corso. This variant is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that a dog requires two copies of the variant to show signs of DSRA. Affected dogs are smaller than their littermates, with short and angularly bent limbs. Their puppy teeth are translucent and easily break. Their adult teeth can be discolored pink or brown with defects in the enamel. As they age, their vision worsens. A complete physical examination, including an oral exam, is necessary to observe the changes in the limbs and teeth. An eye exam to visualize the retina is required to diagnose changes in their vision. Will my previously-tested dog be updated with the results for DSRA? Any dogs tested on v7 (7th version microarray) or later will have results for DSRA automatically backfilled on their dogs’ profile during the week of June 12. How do I know what chip version my dog was tested on? If you log in to your profile on my.embarkvet.com, click on a dog, then click on the ‘Summary’ tab. From there, scroll down to the ‘Raw Data’ button. From there, the version your dog was tested on will be listed at the bottom of the page. It will read as “Technology used for this dog: Generation # Embark microarray" What if my dog was tested before v7 (7th version microarray) but I still want to access these results? Breeders are able to purchase a discounted kit to re-swab and assess if their dog is at an increased risk for developing, or has inherited, DSRA. Please contact [email protected] if interested. Why aren’t all dogs automatically updated with this result? Unfortunately, we’re unable to backfill this particular result for all dogs. This is because the markers needed to process this particular condition were not present on the microarray prior to v7. Therefore, if a dog’s DNA was assessed on a previous version of our microarray, we’re unable to backfill results for those particular dogs. Will I be notified if my previously-tested dog is at-risk for developing, or has inherited, this disease? Yes– if any previously-tested dogs are at risk for developing, or have inherited, DSRA, they will receive a personal email from one of Embark’s Veterinary Geneticists. Our Veterinary Geneticists are also available to help breeders understand the potential health impact of this result and discuss potential future impacts on breeding programs. When can I expect to see these results updated on my dog’s profile? For any previously-tested dogs that are eligible for these health conditions results, breeders will see backfilled results during the week of June 12th. For any dogs that test at an increased risk for developing this condition, or have inherited this condition, breeders will receive an email communication the week of June 12th as well. In an effort to provide the most recent developments regarding the Cane Corso Association of America’s 2023 National Specialty weekend, below is some great information to help you navigate through everything going on during the cluster!

CCAA Members – On April 24th all members who have chosen to vote via email will receive their 2023 Constitution and Bylaw Amendment Ballot. For members who have chosen to vote via mail please look for your ballots to arrive via USPS mail. The vote will remain open for 45 days and a favorable vote of 2/3 of the members who return valid ballots is required for an amendment to pass.
There are many changes that the Bylaw committee and the CCAA board have for your consideration. The ballot is laid out with underlines as additions and strike-throughs being removals. In addition to these, you will also see some areas which are highlighted in yellow. Those changes are the ones that the AKC is requiring. If those AKC required changes are passed, the CCAA will be able to move forward with the AKC and become a full AKC Parent club. Thank you for Voting! The list below details each Cane Corso who has qualified to be invited to the 2023 CCAA Breeder’s Cup Invitational, which will be held in July 2023. The 2023 CCAA Breeder’s Cup Invitational will be part of the 2023 National Specialty events being held in conjunction with the Houston World Series of Dog Shows in Houston, Texas. The CCAA Breeder’s Cup Invitational is an event judged by a panel of three judges. The 2023 judging panel will be announced when finalized. The highest combined score is the winner. The format of this event gives each dog time to show off individually and be viewed by the judges and the fancy in an intimate setting. This is the highest level of conformation competition for the Cane Corso breed in the USA and the invitees are commended on their hard work and success in qualifying. Again for 2023 we will feature a People’s Choice award, which is an exciting opportunity for spectators to vote for his or her favorite exhibitor. For participants and spectators alike, this is the best showcase for the top dogs in our breed. Event details, logistics, the online entry system and formal mailed invitations are all in process. Invitees have been listed in alphabetical order by kennel name. Invitations will be sent to the primary owner listed in AKC's records and the current address provided by the AKC.
