G'day, Eddy here.   Sherri mentioned:- <<<< I have a standard poodle that came with a huge book with all the tests done, amazingly low COI and he is epileptic >>>>     I know a few humans who have epileptic episodes and who have amazingly low COI.  Take for example one who had a car accident where they sustained head injuries and as a result of this now and then they have epileptic episodes. Another example is one that for some reason cannot tolerate strobing flashes of light, this even in regards to watching some things on television, where now and then they experience epileptic episodes. Yes people and even doggies can have amazingly low COI and where they still could for one reason or another experience epileptic episodes. A person can have an epileptic episode and be tested shortly afterwards and where various tests might revel absolutely nothing, this can similarly happen with doggies, so a huge book on various assorted tests in relation to possible health issues might mean absolutely nothing when it comes to epilepsy and this even with some other health issues.   Anyway, as I mentioned in relation to COI, it is believed by most geneticists that a high COI is detrimental for any breed as it can and does have an effect on the immune system and also the ability to reproduce, also increases chances for other hereditary based diseases.   Eddy Safianski Sale Victoria.
