    Health Problems of Ibizan Hound versus Health Problems of Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever

    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 Ibizan Hound and the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever 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 Ibizan Hound is prone to more genetic health problems than the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

    This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Ibizan Hound than for the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.
