The currently known risks of serious hereditary diseases in this breeding are considerably lower than the breed averages. I consider elbow dysplasia to be the main health risk: although both parents themselves have an elbow score of 0/0, there are a few poorer results among close relatives, particularly on the sire's side. This is also reflected in the average of the breeding's elbow EBVs (94.5). Usva is a calm and friendly boy, while Armi is a little more lively and energetic, much-loved family pet.
