@bradygraffiti_corgis: I know everyone adores the classic “chonky corgi” look…but their health has to come first. When I got their dna/health test results back, I learned things I couldn’t ignore. Brady tested positive for two genetic markers for both IVDD (a spinal disc condition common in long-back breeds like corgis) and DM (a neurologic disease seen in many senior dogs). Graffiti also has one marker for each. Markers don’t mean a dog absolutely will develop these conditions, but having two markers instead of one generally indicates a higher genetic risk, which is why I take Brady’s results so seriously. I learned that maintaining good muscle mass and a healthy weight are key to the prevent the disease from developing…and so far, so good with Brady at 11 and Graffiti at 8 ❤️
