Home Of The Rare Breed.
Hi ;
I am new to this breed. My breed was bullmastiff.
Mine passed away 1 1/2 months ago at the age of 10 years and 7 months due to chronic kidney failure. At present, I heard from several bullmastiff breeders that kidney failure is running rampant and it traces to a common dog ancestry that is being used again and again in the breed.
This is a devastating disease because there is no way of knowing it until the end stage . Because kidnye is able to function until losing 75 % of its capacity , blood work often shows normal results until the end stage shows up . The only way we can minimize this is by understanding lineage . That's if breeding community wants to be honest.
Is kidney failure common in Boerboel ?
Would love to hear it from you.
