When a person chooses a dog to himself, he rarely think about how difficulties can be encountered if a dog with fragile health, frequent diseases, will be selected. A pet disease is accompanied by the alarm of households, and veterinary services and drugs are expensive today. Therefore, there is nothing strange if a person chooses a puppy from the standpoint of evaluating its potential health.
What dogs are characterized by good health?
The health of the pet largely depends on its breed, but its belonging to some particular breed is not the only criterion that allows you to predict how strong and hardy will be the dog, how much he will live and what the quality of life will be. Caring for the dog, proper nutrition, adequate physical activity - these are the three principles on which the dog's health is kept. Therefore, you should not "write off" only in the breed. As for certain breeds, the most healthy dogs are animals, in the evolution of which a person did not intervene at all or did it infrequently, a little and delicately. The bred "artificial" dogs are sick more often than others, which is quite normal. The health status of the dog determines its heredity (in your case - also the decency of the breeder). If there was no related bleeding mixture in the family (sometimes you get puppies with the sole purpose - to get rich), if the dog, and the puppies' mother is completely healthy, then the likelihood you get a puppy with strong immunity and reliable health always higher.
