Kombais are generally healthy dogs, but, like all breeds, they may be prone to certain generic as well as genetic conditions.
Hip Dysplasia
Skin problems
Anaesthesia
Temperament
The Kombai is very effective, alert and adaptable to the conditions. Kombais are known for their bravery and their loyalty, a combination that makes them capable of fighting an adversary till death, if they feel the need to protect their family. The breed is also known not to take kindly to strangers, so early socialisation with many people, animals, sights, sounds, textures, and scents will help a Kombai be a well-rounded adult dog.
Training & Intelligence
The Kombai needs heavy exercise every day and will channelize their energy elsewhere if proper training and exercise is not provided. The Kombai will need consistent training, in the hands of a firm yet patient and gentle person.
Breeding
4 to 6 puppies (approximately) Complication in Breeding- No
Procreation
Kombais are generally healthy, robust dogs with few problems during breeding. Their anaesthesia sensitivity will have to be kept in mind, especially if the mother requires a C-section. The average Kombai will attain sexual maturity between six and nine months of age, but they are still too young to be mated. If you must mate your Kombai, wait till he or she is at least two years old. Finally, as in the case of any breed, ensure that you have found responsible families to take the puppies even before you get them mated, so that they don’t fall into the wrong hands. If you’re breeding your dog for the first time, ensure that you’re consulting with a vet regularly and have adequate help during the birthing process. The average litter size is 6-8 puppies.
