It is to a point..they're suceptible to health problems, mostly genetic, some of which require surgeries. He had some problems, not sure what all but the surgeries are all completed and they said all we hane to contend with are standard issuses...benedryl everyday reg trips to the vet and such. I think there gonna have some issues but how many and how expensive depend alot on genes.I hear they are expensive to own though, because of vet bills... is that correct?
