Health
# The Great Anglo-French White and Orange's health
France
The Grand Anglo-French White and Orange is considered a robust dog, generally resilient and endowed with solid health. The breed does not present a long list of known fragilities, but like many large active dogs, it deserves regular locomotor and ear monitoring.
Longevity
## Life expectancy
Its life expectancy is generally between 10 and 12 years, which corresponds to a well-maintained large athletic dog. A suitable diet, a stable weight, regular exercise and consistent veterinary follow-up directly help to preserve its longevity.
Constitution
## Is this a robust breed?
The Grand Anglo-French White and Orange copes well with an active life when it is kept in good conditions and properly prepared for exertion. Its solid build makes it an enduring dog, but this robustness does not rule out the prevention of joint disorders and ear problems linked to its lifestyle and its morphology.
Things to watch for
## What to look out for
Vigilance focuses mainly on the locomotor system and on the ears. In a very active subject or one used for hunting, physical maintenance, weight control and inspection after outings are particularly important to limit avoidable complications.
- Hip dysplasia: a joint condition that can hinder movement and warrants careful locomotor monitoring, especially in a large active dog.
- Elbow dysplasia: an orthopedic disorder likely to impair comfort and performance during exertion.
- Otitis: drooping ears require regular checks to limit moisture, debris, and infections.
Climate
## Tolerance to cold and heat
This breed tolerates heat as well as cold to an average extent. It lives better in a temperate environment, with access to shade, water and recovery times in case of sustained effort. In hot periods, intense outings must be shifted to the coolest hours.
Weight
## Prone to weight gain
Weight control is important in this large working dog, especially since a tendency to gain weight can increase the strain on the joints. A ration adjusted to the actual activity and regular monitoring of body condition help to avoid excess overweight.
Everyday care
## Good habits to keep your pet healthy
- Regularly check the condition of the ears after outings.
- Monitor weight to limit the load on the joints.
- Have locomotion assessed in case of stiffness, lameness or decreased endurance.
Vaccination
## Great Anglo-French White and Orange vaccinations: schedule
Which vaccines does a Great Anglo-French White and Orange need? Like all dogs, Great Anglo-French White and Oranges should receive their core vaccines from 8 weeks of age: CHPPi (core vaccine) and Leptospirosis.

Depending on their lifestyle (hunting, hiking, boarding, travel, region), your veterinarian may add vaccines against Rabies, Kennel cough, Piroplasmosis, Lyme disease and Leishmaniasis.
