This refers to a dog's genetic predisposition regarding reproductive capacity, specifically fertility and litter size. It involves the complex biological mechanisms of the reproductive system, determining how easily a dog can conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. It is not a disease, but rather a genetic variation affecting reproductive efficiency.
Owners typically notice this during breeding age, usually starting around one to two years of age, when a dog fails to conceive or produces unusually small litters. Outside of breeding, affected dogs are completely healthy and show no physical symptoms or changes in daily behavior.
This genetic predisposition cannot be cured, but it does not require medical treatment for the dog's own well-being. Management is limited to veterinary breeding consultations, fertility testing, or timing of mating, with typical costs ranging from 0 to 500 EUR.
