I am new to the thread and I was wondering if others had heard about kidney failure being somewhat common to this breed. I lost 3 to kidney failure but I must say it was to advanced age as well. 16, 13, and 11 years of age.

I try to research the best I can and I'd do anything to ensure that the quality of my dogs' life could keep improving by anything I could do.

Any tips for counteracting and stunting possible kidney failure? Diets, things to avoid, etc?

Thankfully, my breeder is wonderful and I've been lucky with vets, but it would be great to hear from people who take a special interest in this particular breed.
