6. Dobermans' Health Problems
Like most pedigree dogs, Dobermans suffer from some health problems as a result of selective breeding. Dilated cardiomyopathy, or enlarged heart, is a very common and potentially fatal issue. They are also prone to hip problems, a blood clotting disorder called von Willebrand's disease, skin problems, and a type of bone cancer called osteosarcoma. Some genetic tests are now available for checking for these types of health problems.
