#13 A Brittany Spaniel is considered a very robust and healthy breed. The average life expectancy is 12 years, but up to 15 years are not uncommon. When purchasing the dog, the breeder should be asked for information about the risk of hip dysplasia.
Since Brittany is prone to this condition, the breeder should be able to provide evidence of joint testing of the dog's parents.
#14 In order to prevent the disease as far as possible or to keep it under control, attention should be paid to a species-appropriate and balanced diet that is adapted to the level of training and age. The same applies to the daily amount of exercise.
In addition to the already mentioned tendency to hip dysplasia, there is a slight tendency to skin diseases and also to epilepsy. The breeder will be able to give you relevant information.
#15 A responsible breeder pays attention to a healthy and species-appropriate attitude from birth and lays the foundation for the development of a good character.
As the owner, you can contribute to keeping your dog healthy into old age with a balanced and well-thought-out diet, sufficient exercise and mental stimulation, and good care.
You should take your dog to the vet for a check-up once a year. The vet is also happy to give helpful tips on keeping, food, vaccinations, deworming, and many other aspects of a healthy and long dog life.
