Most of the things that send them there are from poor breeding. (i.e., in the case of the little ones, usually toys, it may be luxating patellas, or knee caps). Also tartar build-up and tooth loss is a problem with the smaller ones. The toys, however, do live quite long lives. My little Pumpkin made it to 17. The scariest health problem for the standards is the risk of bloat. I lost one due to bloat and always have a little fear about it in the back of my mind with Bella.
