    Health Problems of German Wirehaired Pointer versus Health Problems of Lagotto Romagnolo

    Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.

    Both the German Wirehaired Pointer and the Lagotto Romagnolo are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.

    The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.

    Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Lagotto Romagnolo is prone to the same number of genetic health problems as the German Wirehaired Pointer.

    6 health tests are recommended for German Wirehaired Pointer while 6 tests are recommended for the Lagotto Romagnolo.

Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
