Health and reproductive risks
There is no comparable survival estimate for the breed in the British cohort used. Among the described birth risks: dysplasia of the hip joints, dislocation of the patella, bloat or twisting of the stomach; examination of the parents is confirmed with the veterinarian.
Ease of care
Thick wool requires regular brushing, especially during shedding.
Health
Hip dysplasia
Hip Dysplasia: The breeder is asked to confirm examinations of both parents. The puppy is not forced to make sharp jumps and long runs while the bones are growing. Stiffness after rest is not attributed to age without an examination.
Dislocation of the patella
A dislocation of the patella is often noticeable by short "bounces" on the hind leg during running. Mild forms are often only controlled, and severe ones may require surgery. It is better to ask the breeder about similar cases in the pedigree.
Bloating or twisting of the stomach
Bloating or stomach upset: the portion is divided into several feedings, and the dog is allowed to rest after eating. An enlarged stomach and futile urges to vomit require urgent veterinary care.
