Understanding health issues and conditions in dogs is challenging, no matter whether the dog is purebred or of mixed heritage. An individual dog's health and quality of life are influenced by his/her genetic makeup and by the environment. Here we offer resources to assist breeders in making sound decisions about selection of dogs used for breeding.
