Barbado da Terceira Health

The Barbado da Terceira is a robust and athletic breed with a muscular physique that facilitates speed and endurance. Its double coat allows it to adapt to diverse weather conditions, and its strong bones and joints make it well-suited for an active lifestyle and various sports, such as agility, herding, and flyball. Hip problems are uncommon in BDTs; however, no dog breed can claim to have perfect hips. Breeders are dedicated to continuously improving hip health through Pennhip testing of all dogs in the US. Although DNA tests show that some BDTs are carriers of MDR-1 and CDDY, there have been no reported cases of adverse effects from these conditions.
