didn't know they had those health issues. They are very cute though. What color are they? Do you bring them to the dog park? That's a nice way to meet people that you have something in common with. I take my dogs sometimes.
All dogs have potential health issues. Different issues for different breeds.
Duncan is Chocolate, and Sassy is Lilac (common color is Fawn).
Duncan has this dominance thing where we provokes other dogs by staring at them, but he doesn't get viscous until being bitten pretty badly a few times. Sassy is food/toy possesive, but she is otherwise friendly unless she is sleeping (she wakes up nasty grumpy these days--growling and sounding viscous--smile).
I worry that they will provoke other dogs (Duncan) and then it will get really nasty (Sassy don't take kindly to any aggression).
They're a handfull. I need Ceasar Milan (Dog Whisperer guy), I think.
Most of the time, they're not a problem, but they have got into a few bloody fights this year. Once over a Porterhouse steak, one over who was going to sleep on which bed in the Hotel the weekend before last, and much earlier they got into a fight over who was going to sleep where on the couch.
Once they work these things out, they are fine, but... let's just say I am getting much better at intervention and anticipating triggers.
Stangely, they only do this when I am around.
