When breeding PBGVs, a good health is our priority and we do our best to produce healthy and sound puppies. However, there has been reported over 400 diseases or faults in dog breeds. Some of the health problems are caused by harmful genes. Every breed carries a number of those harmful genes and PBGV makes no exception.

At this page I'll collect links concerning some of those diseases that have occurred in the breed, as well as other health issues in general. They are listed in an alphabetical order:

CROODED TAIL / CRYPTORCHIDISM / EAR INFECTIONS / EPILEPSY and SEIZURES / FALSE PREGNANCY / FOOD ALLERGIES / HEART MURMURS / HYPOTHYROIDISM / LUMPS / MISSING TEETH / NECK PAIN SYNDROME / PATELLAR LUXATION / PPM / POLYCYSTIC KIDNEYS / PYOMETRA / WORMS / UMBILICAL & INGUINAL HERNIAS (Ron Hines)/ UNDERSHOT / UNFERTILITY / URINARY INFECTIONS / URINE STONES
