DM is a genetic condition that affects the spinal cord and can lead to mobility issues later in life. It’s not painful, but it can cause progressive weakness in the back legs.

Carrier: Has one copy of the gene but will not develop the disease
At Risk: Has two copies and may develop symptoms with age
EIC is a condition where dogs may experience weakness or loss of coordination after strenuous activity. It’s not painful and usually passes quickly.
Clear: No risk and cannot pass the gene
Carrier: Carries one copy, won’t be affected
At Risk: May show signs during intense exercise
vWD1 affects blood clotting. It’s a mild form of a bleeding disorder and can be managed with care and awareness.
Clear: No gene present, cannot pass it on
Carrier: One copy of the gene, won’t be affected
At Risk: Two copies and may show mild clotting issues
The Fluffy gene gives Corgis their signature longer, softer coat. It’s not a health issue, just a different coat variety.
Fluffy Carrier: One copy of the gene, may pass it on
Full Fluffy: Two copies—long, plush coat guaranteed
The Bluie gene can lighten a Corgi’s coat color and is purely cosmetic. It does not affect health.
Carrier: One copy, may pass on the trait
Bluie: Expresses the lighter coat color
