Newfoundlands are prone to hip dysplasia (a malformed ball and socket in the hip joint), Elbow dysplasia, and cystinuria (a hereditary defect that forms calculi stones in the bladder). Another genetic problem is subvalvular aortic stenosis, also referred to as subaortic stenosis or SAS. This is a common heart defect in Newfoundlands involving defective heart valves. SAS can cause sudden death at an early age
基本上大狗都有hip joint的問題到老的時候...所以請問問自己有沒有10~13年的心理準備去照顧一隻比一般女生還要大隻的狗..
