Herding and hunting dogs are intense, high-drive dogs that work, and often live, outdoors and in constant or repeated close contact with domestic and wild animals. These dogs are at increased risk for injury and exposure to infectious diseases, toxic substances, and environmental threats. The common practice of feeding or allowing access to raw meat from farm or game animals enhances disease transmission risk. These dogs can be affected by infectious diseases and injurious agents that are rarely encountered in other groups of dogs. In addition, their extreme work ethic may lead to delays in diagnosis.
牧羊犬和猎犬是精力充沛、驱动力强的犬种，它们在户外工作和生活，经常与家养和野生动物密切接触。这些狗更容易受伤，也更容易接触到传染病、有毒物质和环境威胁。常见的做法是给它们喂食或让它们接触来自农场或猎物动物的生肉，这增加了疾病传播的风险。这些狗可能会受到其他犬种很少遇到的传染病和有害因素的影响。此外，它们极端的工作道德可能导致诊断延误。
