Glen of Imaal Terrier versus Gordon Setter

Glen of Imaal Terrier versus Gordon Setter: Overview

    Both the Glen of Imaal Terrier and the Gordon Setter 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 Gordon Setter is prone to more genetic health problems than the Glen of Imaal Terrier.

    This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Gordon Setter than for the Glen of Imaal Terrier.
