    Well, I own a giant breed, Bullmastiff, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, a breed prone to many health problems.

    When I bought them and decided on the breed, I decided the only way to go about it was to buy from a responsible breeder. This reduced my risks for health problems immensely. It isn't gone altogether, but I feel it is greatly reduced.

    I also keep my dogs fit and healthy. I feed appropriate amounts. I give good exercise. I keep up routine health with appropriate vet care. All of this also helps! :)
