German Pinscher Health Information
Adverse Vaccine Reactions
Read the club's guide on adverse vaccine reactions here which is intended as an insight into potential vaccine related issues. It contains useful information for both owners and their vets when vaccinating a German Pinscher. The Officers of our Club are knowledgable on the subject and are happy to discuss German Pinscher specific reactions. For all veterinary concerns contact your vet in the first instance. |
Mandatory Health Tests for Breeders
There are four main health tests which are currently mandatory before breeding within our club, details are available on our mandatory health tests page. The club also recommends that owners test their dogs even if they don’t intend to breed or show their dog(s), to maintain records of the health of German Pinschers within the UK. |
