This is very interesting. I have a German Rotti and one of the biggest things I was told to look out for is hip dysplasia. I a surprised that hip dysplasia is one of the many issues for Brittany dogs; they do not seem to be a very large breed (size). I was told that the larger breed of dogs are more prone to getting hip dysplasia.
