Cystic Renal Dysplasia and Hepatic Fibrosis is a disease that can be fatal in Norwich Terrier puppies. A causative mutation was identified in a family of Norwich Terriers in the Anttila lab in Finland. The mutation is thought to be inherited as a recessive trait and careful breeding practices can be used to remove the prevalence of this disease.
