A questionnaire-based study was undertaken to assess health problems affecting the Dogue de Bordeaux breed of dog and, in particular, the potential impact of cardiac disease. An online survey tool was used to design a questionnaire for Dogue de Bordeaux owners and breeders. After 1year of response time, information was collected on 278 dogs owned by 215 individuals, mostly based in the United Kingdom. Of the 278 dogs, veterinary attention had been sought for chronic skin disease in 63 (22.7%), lameness in 43 (15.5%), gastrointestinal signs in 37 (13.3%) and neoplasia in 28 (10.1%). Cardiac disease was reported in 13/278 dogs (4.7%). At the time of completion of the survey, 55 (19.8%) dogs were dead, 17 (31%) of which were reported to have died suddenly and unexpectedly. Respondents expressed interest in a formal cardiac health screening scheme in the Dogue de Bordeaux breed, but would be reluctant to volunteer for such a scheme if information on disease detected during screening was open access. The incidence of sudden unexpected death was high; although there was no corroboration that the sudden deaths were related to cardiac disease, a possible connection should be explored further.
开展了一项基于问卷调查的研究，以评估影响波尔多犬品种的健康问题，尤其是心脏病的潜在影响。使用在线调查工具为波尔多犬的主人和饲养者设计了一份问卷。经过1年的回复期，收集了215人所拥有的278只狗的信息，这些人大多来自英国。在这278只狗中，有63只（22.7%）因慢性皮肤病、43只（15.5%）因跛行、37只（13.3%）因胃肠道症状、28只（10.1%）因肿瘤而寻求兽医治疗。有13/278只狗（4.7%）被报告患有心脏病。在调查完成时，55只（19.8%）狗已经死亡，其中17只（31%）据报告是突然意外死亡。受访者对波尔多犬品种的正式心脏健康筛查计划表示感兴趣，但如果筛查期间检测到的疾病信息是公开的，他们会不愿意自愿参与这样的计划。突然意外死亡的发生率很高；虽然没有确凿证据表明突然死亡与心脏病有关，但应进一步探讨可能的联系。
