breed health issues

Breed health issues are specific medical problems that are often more common in certain dog breeds due to their genetics and physical traits. For example, some breeds may be prone to hip dysplasia, a joint problem causing pain and mobility issues, or respiratory issues if they have short noses. These health concerns are inherited and can affect their quality of life. Responsible breeding and regular veterinary care can help manage or reduce some of these risks. It's important for potential owners to research a breed’s typical health issues and provide proper care to ensure their dog stays healthy.
