Medium-sized dogs are often more robust & agile than other dogs. They have a broad spectrum of activity ranging from the quiet family dog to the high performance dog. The family dog may tend towards being overweight & needs measured food intake whereas the medium-sized performance dog (for example hunting or racing dog) has high energy requirements. Rummaging in undergrowth splashing in water etc moreover requires special protection for skin & coat. First signs of ageing may include increasing sluggishness an impaired sense of smell & a more sensitive digestion. The immune defences weaken the risk of illness increases. The moulting process becomes slower & the coat may lose shine. The risk of tartar & the associated consequences rises.
