Congenital hypothyroidism is a genetic disorder affecting thyroid function in Spanish Water Dogs. This condition results in insufficient production of thyroid hormones crucial for growth and metabolism. The disease manifests early in life and is caused by a mutation in the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene, which impairs the thyroid gland’s ability to synthesize hormones effectively.
