What genetic diseases are they prone to?
Luxating patellas and eye diseases [PRA- Progressive Retinal Atrophy, and Multi-focal Retinopathy are two main ones, although there is question as to the seriousness of the eye problems, due to their not causing any real debilitation, even as they age] are the primary ones. Heart and hip dysplasia can be seen occasionally. Thyroid has been marked as a problem in some. Elbow malformation has been detected, as well. Thankfully, this rare breed has few genetic problems. Kidney problems can be seen, however, it’s not genetic.
