ABSOLUTELY! And the dogs are the canaries in the coal mine....
Prior land use was something I thoroughly researched before buying BTW.
Ground used for farming...fertilizer and pesticide residue in the ground
and/or in well water and/or run-off from NEARBY farms/orchards (I have
none)....
I may be over the top of this but I also google landfills to see if there
are any near "my" farm markets after learning of a farm (with the usual
stand) right next door to a toxic landfill one county over....

I've often wondered if well water has anything to do with some of the
digestive problems we are seeing in the Breed...
Several years ago, we bought a new house that was built on old farm
land. Periodically, we would get red clay dirt in the water. Two of
our dogs died of problems related to the gall bladder and pancreas. I
was afflicted with the same problems myself.
I've always wondered if the our ground water was contaminated with the
fertilizers that were used on the property year after year. Could this
have caused the digestive problems in the dogs and myself?
At one time, I was interested in conducting a survey regarding dogs on
well water. I'm not an environmental engineer, but we do have one in
the family. Does anyone think that the well water thing is worth
exploring?

shots and a booster, I rarely vaccinate dogs that live at home. We did
vaccinate for canine influenza, and we do kennel cough vaccine when a dog
starts out to shows. But overall, not much. Any volunteers to set up the
questionnaire?
