that this dog is prone to suffer from
disk problems and care should be taken,
especially when he is still a puppy. Ideally,
he shouldn’t stay in a home with many
stairs as it will place strain on his
back. He should also not jump from
or onto furniture, but rather be picked
up if he is allowed on the furniture. Also,
keep the dog’s weight in mind as extra
weight can also cause back issues.Is there any special
