Wow, sorry to hear VWD is still around. In 1979, I had an import male (Hal),
that was tested affected. It's been many years since I studied the disease.
In my male's case, he inherited it from his mother (most do). They call it sex
linked., and males suffer from it more than females. Many puppies never
survive because they bleed from their umbilical, my guy's numbers were not as
low as they could have been and I guess that helped him. He was not very old
when he died, 5 1/2 ... just the slightest bruises sent him into the ER. In
those few years, Hal had received 3 blood transfusions to save his life.

Hello,
Question for the genetic literates in the crowd.
My friends have a young bitch that bloated, and during surgery found out she
has Von Willebrands.
I know there is a genetic component in this disease, as well as a genetic test
to determine affected/carrier/clear status, as well as a test we use at work to
determine if they are affected, so I know where to go that way if I want to
test a dog.
My question is, what is the inheritance of this disease? Is it simple recessive
or is it like mega where there are modes of penetrance that makes it more
complicated?
I havent found a website that breaks it down for our breed.
I'm just curious, of course I have to know details lol.
