Things to keep an eye on
Hip Dysplasia
moderateThis condition involves an abnormal formation of the hip socket, which can lead to discomfort or mobility challenges as the dog ages. It is common in many active, medium-to-large breeds.
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce unnecessary stress on your dog's joints.
Obesity
moderateLike many active breeds, if their high energy levels are not matched with sufficient exercise, they can be prone to gaining excess weight. This can impact their overall health and joint longevity.
Measure daily food portions accurately and provide consistent daily exercise.
Ear Infections
lowDue to their ear structure, these dogs can be prone to moisture buildup, which may lead to irritation or infections if not kept clean. Regular monitoring helps catch issues early.
Gently clean your dog's ears with a vet-approved solution after swimming or bathing.
