White Swiss Shepherd

origin: Switzerland · 6 figures in the corpus · Q37934

Every figure below carries this breed's name or id in its source study -- grouped by what it measures, not ranked. A breed appearing under a study here does not mean every other breed was tested and came back negative; it means this is what has a named source so far. See each figure's own page for its caveats.

OFA (hip & elbow)

12.4 percent evaluated dysplastic preliminary

White Swiss Shepherd: hip evaluations rated dysplastic (mild/moderate/severe combined), OFA cumulative statistics

  • OFA is a voluntary-submission registry: owners/breeders choose whether to have a dog evaluated and whether to submit the result, so this is not a random sample of the breed and most likely understates true population prevalence.
18.7 percent evaluated abnormal preliminary

White Swiss Shepherd: elbow evaluations rated abnormal (grade 1-3 combined), OFA cumulative statistics

  • OFA is a voluntary-submission registry: owners/breeders choose whether to have a dog evaluated and whether to submit the result, so this is not a random sample of the breed and most likely understates true population prevalence.

Temperament

32.0 percent scored 'high' fear preliminary

White Swiss Shepherd: share of surveyed dogs scored high on the Fear trait (Salonen 2020, Finnish pet dogs)

  • Self-selected online convenience sample of Finnish pet owners, not a random sample of the breed or of all dogs.
  • Restricted to breeds with at least 50 surveyed dogs to avoid small-sample noise.
35.0 percent scored 'high' noise sensitivity preliminary

White Swiss Shepherd: share of surveyed dogs scored high on the Noise sensitivity trait (Salonen 2020, Finnish pet dogs)

  • Self-selected online convenience sample of Finnish pet owners, not a random sample of the breed or of all dogs.
  • Restricted to breeds with at least 50 surveyed dogs to avoid small-sample noise.
