You need to check for everything listed on that website.
Patellar Luxation, hip dysplasia and PRA/CERF are probably the only things you can get definitive answers about, but you can discover a lot about the potential for the other diseases by researching the dog's pedigree. |
Just curious,does this apply just to pugs as we always get our labs done at 13 months which is recommended and accepted by kennel club ?
