If you don't want to spend money on a vet: 8 dog breeds with excellent health

Every breed has its own unique characteristics and health issues. However, some are long-lived and generally healthy, and don't require meticulous care or constant attention from their owners.

Airedale

The Airedale Terrier is a strong, muscular, medium-sized dog. These dogs are used by people in a wide variety of applications:

  • water rat hunting dog;
  • hunting assistant dog;
  • guard dog;
  • service dog;
  • ambulance dog;
  • signal dog;
  • Sapper dog.

Such a diverse use suggests that representatives of this breed have robust health, a large reserve of energy and endurance.

Having a thick undercoat, they happily play in the snow and are not afraid of colds and flu.

Belgian Malinois

The Belgian Malinois can remain active for up to twelve years with proper care, proper grooming, and regular veterinary monitoring. Representatives of the breed are robust and resilient. They are free of typical canine health problems, and their immune systems are remarkably strong.

Fox terrier

An energetic dog with a bright temperament. Very active and cheerful.
Overall, this is a healthy breed with a lifespan of eleven to fourteen years.

Anatolian Shepherd Dog

These dogs are free from diseases common to other large and giant breeds.

They tolerate temperature changes, changes in environment, or prolonged physical activity calmly.

They have strong immune systems and are free of genetic diseases. By purchasing such a puppy, you can be confident that it will not be diagnosed with any hidden illnesses.

With good care and adherence to the vaccination schedule, representatives of this breed live from ten to twelve years.

Pharaoh Hound

This dog is considered a long-lived breed. Some individuals can live up to twenty years. Pharaoh Hounds have a strong immune system, are generally healthy, and are almost immune to various diseases. Individuals of this breed rarely suffer from serious illnesses or mutations.

The only thing an owner should always remember is the dog's thin layer of fat. In cold weather, it needs warm clothing, otherwise it may catch a cold. The diet is quite basic. But don't overfeed it.

Strong genetics, a stable immune system, and the care of a caring owner make this dog breed unique in terms of physical health and lifespan.

Corgi

Caring for a corgi is not particularly difficult if you follow a few simple rules:

  • Special attention should be paid to a dog's nails. With enough exercise, they wear down naturally. If a dog doesn't spend much time outdoors, their nails will grow long and need to be trimmed.
  • Pay special attention to the ears and eyes. Since the ears are erect, dust and dirt easily get into them. They need to be cleaned regularly.
  • Don't overdo it with washing your dog. They have beautiful fur that's resistant to dirt. This is due to a layer of oil that repels dirt and moisture. This layer is washed away during washing.
  • Corgis love to chew on everything they come across. It's important to teach your puppy not to touch things right away. Instead, buy them toys. Keep valuables and dangerous items high up.
  • Living in an apartment, a dog needs regular exercise to maintain good health. Activity is essential for a healthy body and mind.

Australian Kelpie

Australian Kelpies don't require special attention or care from their owners and rarely get sick. If they do, they easily recover from any illnesses that arise. Their lifespan is 10 to 15 years.

Husky

Siberian Huskies enjoy excellent health. They are immune to most canine diseases. They live a long life and have no problems with reproduction.

Every dog ​​is unique. When choosing a pet based on health characteristics, you should also consider temperament. After all, a cheerful and playful Fox Terrier or a large, high-maintenance Anatolian Shepherd aren't ideal for every family.

      If you don't want to spend money on a vet, then you shouldn't have any pets at all.

      And how did they take my praise for mongrels and block it? As profanity, an insult, or what?

      What kind of weed have you been smoking, affftarr? Are huskies easy-to-care-for dogs? Sure, if they live in Siberia, near the Arctic Circle, and in a pack of other sled dogs, then yes. But if they live in the middle of nowhere, and in an apartment, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more demanding breed. The truly easy-to-care-for dogs are the Yard Dogs, or Mongrels, who live for years in any weather, tethered, in the yard, without any medical attention, giving birth in a kennel in winter, and even raising their puppies in those conditions! Now that's someone with truly exceptional health!
