Any dog can get a lump, a fatty tumor, a wen or cyst as they are called. Soe breed are more prone to cancer than others, but it is a possibility in any dog, sadly.
Dogs with thin coats, like boxers, Danes, show the bumps more readily than, say, a fuzzy golden retreiver. Dogs with a thin, white coat, like Alaska, tend to be more prone to skin problems due to sun exposure just like pale-skinned people are more prone to skin cancers. If you read the "risk factors for skin cancer," for example, I am practically a perfect match. I am conscientious of it, and wear sunscreen whenever I am going to be in the sun for longer than a couple minutes.
