Health

Slovakian Wirehaired Pointers are generally healthy dogs, but like most of the dog breeds in the world, they can suffer from some health problems. Those problems include:

• Epilepsy
• Dental problems
• Skin problems
• Osteopathy

If you want to get a puppy with the best possible health, you should never buy him from an irresponsible dog breeder. Official and responsible dog breeders regularly check their breeding dogs, and they will not breed dogs if there is a possibility that the puppies will end up with inherited diseases.

Slovakian Wirehaired Pointer breeders

Slovakian Wirehaired Pointers are not so popular dogs around the world, so you must be prepared that you will have to wait for your puppy if you decide that this is the best dog for you.

While searching for breeders, always find the good ones, and if you do so, you don’t have to worry that your dog will end up with inherited diseases. While talking to breeders, always ask them to show you the health certificates of their dogs.

Since this is an active dog, you will have to provide them with a lot of activities. If you are not a very active person, we advise you to search for different less active dog breeds. That way, you won’t end up with a dog who will be unhappy because his physical needs are not met.
