2021, Veterinary JournalCitation Excerpt :Dogs with SRMA are common patients in veterinary practice, although exact prevalence estimates of the disease do not exist. Medium to large sized dogs are more commonly affected than small breed dogs, and specific breeds, e.g. Bernese mountain dog, Beagle, Whippet and Boxer have a high occurrence, suggesting a genetic predisposition (Cizinauskas et al., 2000; Anfinsen et al., 2008; Lowrie et al., 2009a; Rose et al., 2014). Such a genetic predisposition has been evidenced in the Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever (Anfinsen et al., 2008; Hansson-Hamlin and Lilliehöök, 2013).
