I agree they are very prone to ear problems, and I've also seen alot of them with skin problems as well as many moles too.

I think just about any breed would have it's own set of inherent problems, but I would think that some of that could be reduced by finding a good breeder that does testing, regular vet visits, and regular looking the dog over for problems to be caught early.

With any dog, off leash usually requires training, I don't know of any one breed that's better or worse with off leash when they've been properly trained.

Good luck
