Health issues include but are not limited to:
temperament
rage
shyness
unstable
health
DCM
demodex
cancer
wobblers
liver failure
kidney failure
light sensitivity
bleeders (as in VWD)
thyroid
bloat/torsion
missing teeth
allergies (food & environment)
blindness
dysplastic (hips & elbows)
tearing ACL's

Be sure to do your research on the breeder you choose before purchasing a puppy. There are too many puppy mills out there selling dogs with these issues. Make sure these are nowhere in the bloodlines.

Don't forget blindness and deafness, subject to torsion and bloat.
See you in Denver.
