Belengere Health Database 
The following health problems,
known to be transmitted genetically, have been identified in the
Belgian Shepherd Dog
(See: Control of Canine Genetic Diseases, George A Padgett, DVM,
1998).
I have noted a
code next to each disorder, which will be used in the Belengere
health database if required.
