Health Problems Of The Siberian Husky

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

There isn’t any dog breed that is completely free from inheritable genetic defects, but the Siberian Husky has the fewest health problems of all breeds. The Siberian Husky enjoys generally good health and temperament, but there are still Siberian Husky health problems that you should look out for.

This general good health is largely due to the fact that the Siberian Husky Club of America or SHCA has kept an eye on all potential genetic problems and taken positive action in order to ensure the well being of the breed. This organization was tasked with being aware of genetic problems and alerting breeders before the defects can spread since its start in 1965. The two greatest areas of concern for the Siberian Husky that the SHCA has found is canine hip dysphasia and inheritable eye disease. However, you can try to avoid these conditions in your dog and help them live a long, healthy life with proper care and monitoring.
