Things to keep an eye on
Dental Disease
moderateAccumulation of plaque and tartar can lead to gum inflammation and potential tooth loss if oral hygiene is neglected.
Brush your dog's teeth regularly and provide safe dental chews to help manage plaque buildup.
Hip Dysplasia
moderateThis condition involves the improper development of the hip joint, which can lead to discomfort or mobility issues as the dog ages.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's joints.
Obesity
moderateLike many active breeds, these dogs can be prone to weight gain if their high energy levels are not matched by consistent physical activity.
Measure food portions accurately and provide daily opportunities for vigorous play or walks.
Ear Infections
lowThe ear structure of this breed can sometimes trap moisture, creating an environment where bacteria or yeast may flourish.
Check and gently clean your dog's ears regularly, especially after swimming or bathing.
