The Vital Four-Legged Friends: 10 Healthy Dog Breeds
Everyone dreams that their four-legged friend is as healthy as possible - and stays that way. In addition to →nutrition, →care and the conditions during upbringing, the dog breed also represents an important aspect when it comes to whether a furry friend is healthy. Of course, choosing a specific dog breed does not guarantee that your four-legged friend will actually be healthy, but the chances of a disease-free life are significantly better.

Whether a dog breed is considered healthy can be determined, for example, by:
- Length of the snout (flat, long)
- Length of the back (long, short)
- Size of the breed (small, medium, large)
- Arrangement of the eyes (protruding or not)
- Tail shape (hanging, standing, curled)
- Skin characteristics (wrinkled, smooth)

Which Dogs Have the Fewest Diseases?
In general, the larger a four-legged friend, the more likely it is that problems and diseases related to movement will occur. The Malinois is considered particularly healthy. Although this Belgian four-legged friend belongs to the →large dog breeds and especially to the shepherd dogs. Closely following is the extremely intelligent Border Collie - no wonder the →English four-legged friend enjoys great popularity. This breed also shows hardly any breed-specific diseases. With a proud age of up to 16 years, this agile companion stays with you for a long time - however, due to its high need for exercise, it requires people who bring a lot of time and motivation to keep the four-legged friend mentally and physically stimulated.

Which Dogs Have the Most Health Problems?
Some dog breeds are genetically predisposed and partly due to overbreeding to various diseases. The popular →German Shepherd often suffers from hip dysplasia (HD) and is already limited in its musculoskeletal system at a young age. Four-legged friends like →French Bulldogs, the →Pug, and →Shar-Pei are significantly burdened in their breathing due to their short snouts and often face shortness of breath throughout their lives. The well-known →Dachshund is also at risk of developing breeding-related problems such as intervertebral disc disease due to its long back.
Also, when →purchasing small dog breeds, you should pay attention to certain things. Not infrequently, →Chihuahuas and others are bred to be smaller than the standard (so-called "teacup puppies") to the detriment of their health and are thus considered to be suffering breeds. With a weight of under 2 kg for fully grown dogs, organ damage, early death, and loss of consciousness are not uncommon. By the way, the same caution applies to →the purchase of large dog breeds, which are increasingly bred to be larger and heavier to the detriment of their health.
Overbreeding
More and more purebred dogs are considered overbred today. But what does it actually mean when a breed or a dog is labeled as overbred?
Overbreeding can result from the desire to bring out certain characteristics in dogs (gigantic or tiny sizes, special coat colors, short legs, flat noses, etc.) leading to defects, degenerations, behavioral disorders, and an increase in the allergenic potential of foods.
