Ourtrieva Golden Retrievers

Health related LINKS

 Golden Retrievers may suffer from a range of hereditary problems. Some problems may not obviously impact on the animals life but responsible breeders are attempting to reduce the incidence of these problems in the Golden Retriever. In line with this all of our breeding animals will be tested prior to breeding.

Below there are links relating to some of the health issues that affect some Golden Retrievers (not all links are to Golden Retrievers sites), but they do provide related information.
