To generate a list of dog breeds for this project, the American and United Kennel Club registered breed lists were utilized, supplemented with additional breeds known to have breed-related neurologic conditions.
Subsequently, disease names were collected from published texts describing canine neurologic disease. The following publicly available internet platforms were accessed: PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Google search platforms. The key words searched included: breed and (neurologic disorder, nervous, disease) or (clinical signs) or (additional neurologic terms).
Retrieved information was stored in Excel format categorized by breed and disease, with updated searches performed weekly. Original peer-reviewed manuscripts (written in English) were downloaded and reviewed. Data extracted included breed, sex, age of onset of signs, clinical signs, and other pertinent clinical information. This data was used to generate clinical summaries for each of the neurologic diseases based on breed-specific information.
