Breeder of Portugese Water Dog and Chinese Crested/Chinese Crested Powder Puff


Health

HD: C with significant calcifications. Also sacralisation (transitional vertebrae).

AD: 0

 

I have chosen not to do further testing on Raio since Ia have made the desicion never to use him as a studdog because of his health. This gives me great grief as he otherwise is a great representative for the breed.

I also choose to show you an x-ray of his back as not many knows what a transitional vertebrae looks like. The consequences in his case is that he gets a stiff back and tire easily from activities like playing with other dogs or humans. He sees a chiropractor frequently and this is really beneficial for him.
