Acknowledged for being exceptionally intelligent, Australian Shepherds are supposedly less complicated to train. But despite that impressive characteristic, there are a few unavoidable factors that can spoil the result of Australian shepherd training. Numerous ailments this breed is at risk of top the list of such factors. It's not that they're an unhealthy breed but they normally inherit health issues affecting the back, hip and eyes.
While these health diseases can indeed affect the training, understanding more about them will help you decide as to what training approach would work best for your dog without sacrificing their health condition. Here's a list of health concerns and their descriptions you may want to be aware of:
Hip dysplasia – Hip dysplasia is one of the most common health issues affecting dogs particularly larger ones. This health issue appears when the caput (end of the femur head) isn't deeply or tightly held by the acetabulum (socket located in the pelvis). It has become a loose fit or partial fit instead of the normal snug fit. Hip dysplasia may also be an outcome when the caput or acetabulum aren't smooth and round therefore causing abnormal wear and tear within the joint as it moves. This health concern can cause mild to serious crippling and eventually severe osteoarthritis without treatment.
While this disease is inherited, environmental factors like overweight condition and injury at a young age can also trigger it.
Elbow dysplasia – While hip dysplasia affects the femur and the caput, elbow dysplasia on the other hand affects the cartilage and the structures surrounding it. This problem triggers pain or stiffness and sometimes disable a sufferer. Inflammation and osteoarthritis may also develop thus making Australian Shepherd training more challenging.
Patella luxation – Along with hip and elbow problem, an Aussie could also suffer from luxating patella, a disease that occurs when a dog's knees are misaligned or misshapen. A dog might not feel any pain after the onset however, this disease that is also called trick knee may cause the dog to skip when running and doesn't let one rear leg touch the ground particularly when walking or running.
Eye problems – Australian Shepherds are also prone to eye problems like red eye, epiphora, conjunctivitis and cataracts. Collie eye anomaly is uncommon but iris coloboma ought to be noted.
If your pet is suffering from any of these issues, it's very important that you take necessary measures to prevent the problem from advancing if not totally eliminate it. Of course, you can still continue on providing your pet with Australian Shepherd training. Just ensure that the activities involved will not help aggravate whatever disease your pet has.
