Keep in mind...
All breeds of dogs encounter health issues. Please
be careful not to assume that finding and discussing health issues in any breed means that the breed is not a healthy
one. Rather, know that breeders and owners openly discussing health issues can only bring about an improvement in the
breed's overall health. Working together as partners, we *can* make a difference.
