What are dog breeds that are least prone to cancer?
I know retrievers are really prone to it. We just lost my dog to it 1 month tomorrow. We might be getting another dog over the summer and I want to get one with a healthy medical back round. What are some breeds that stay relatively healthy.
I know that. But arn’t some dogs just more prone to it then others?
ANY dog from a REPUTABLE breeder that knows every dog in their dog’s pedigree for the last 100 years, has done every breed specific genetic testing, etc…
If no dog in the dog’s lines has had cancer for the past 100 years, it’s VERY unlikely that dog will have cancer.
EDIT: As far as specific breeds go, if you’ve never heard of it before chances are it’s fairly rare, and therefor not as mass produced by idiots, puppy mills, and BYBs. Labs, german shepherds, collies, huskies, etc…. dogs that EVERYONE knows of and EVERYONE wants are a lot more prone to be targeted by the BYBs and puppy mills. Therefor, there is going to be a higher percentage of dogs in that breed with genetic defects and health problems.
I love all dogs, but these are my 10 favorite(:
