| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Weight Range | 20–30 kg |
| Height Range | 53.34–64 cm |
| Lifespan | 10–14 years |

## Puppy/Kitten Development
- **Neonatal Weight**: 250–450 g
- **Growth Notes**: Medium-large breed: avoid excessive impact/strain on joints until growth plates close at 18-24 months to prevent joint damage.
- **Vaccine Schedule**: {"start_weeks": 6, "series_count": 4, "core_vaccines": "CDV; CAV-1; CPV-2; Rabies", "socialization_end_weeks": 16}

## Adult Preventive Care
- **Exercise Needs**: Very High
- **Grooming**: Low
- **Annual Exam Focus**: Cardiac auscultation; Eye exam; Thyroid panel; Hip palpation
- **Routine Care**: Monitor for signs of cancer (like hemangiosarcoma), manage joint pain from arthritis, and schedule regular eye exams for cataracts and glaucoma. Watch for behavioral changes indicating cognitive decline.

## Obesity Management
- **Risk Level**: Low

- **Visual Cues**: Ribs easily palpable with minimal fat covering; distinct waist visible from above; pronounced abdominal tuck visible from side.
- **Daily Activity Target**: 90 minutes
- **Caloric Formula**: {"daily_kcal_per_kg": 60, "RER_factor": 70, "activity_multiplier": 1.8}

## Breeding & Genetics
- **Litter Size**: 6–8
- **Dystocia Risk**: Low
- **CHIC Required Tests**: Hip Dysplasia; ACVO Eye Exam; Autoimmune Thyroiditis
- **Recommended DNA Tests**: Hyperuricosuria (HUU); Long-Hair Gene; PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy); Von Willebrand Disease; Dwarfism (SD3) gene

## Behavioral Ethogram
- **Locomotion**: Ground-eating trot; Quartering back and forth; Zoomies/FRAPs; Pouncing; Play bow
- **Social**: Leaning against owner; Velcro-like clinging; Mutual grooming; Play solicitation; Submissive rolling
- **Comfort**: Self-grooming; Stretching; Yawning; Circling before lying; Curling up to sleep
- **Stress/Displacement**: Whining/crying; Destructive chewing; Pacing; Excessive yawning; Lip licking
- **Breed-Specific**: Pointing stance; Retrieving to hand; Close-working/Velcro proximity; Quartering in field

## Vocalization Baseline
- **Types**: Whine; Bark (alert); Bark (excitement); Howl; Yell/Scream
- **Frequency Range**: 240-2130
- **Tendency**: High
- **Primary Modality**: Balanced Vocal/Body
- **Tail Signals**: Right-sided wag = happy/relaxed; Left-sided wag = fearful/anxious; High wag = confident/excited; Low tuck = fearful

## Emotional Wellbeing
- **Anxiety Proneness**: High
- **Top Triggers**: Separation; Confinement; Lack of exercise/stimulation; Loud noises; Isolation
- **Separation Anxiety Risk**: Very_High
- **Calming Interventions**: Puzzle toys/mental stimulation; Desensitization training; Regular exercise routine; Safe space/quiet area; Compression garment (ThunderShirt)
- **Cognitive Dysfunction Risk**: Moderate

## Behavior Problems (Six-Etiology Classification)
- **Top Problems**: Separation anxiety; Demand barking; Jumping up; Destructive chewing; Leash reactivity
- **Medical Etiology**: House soiling (UTI/kidney issues/diabetes); Sudden aggression (pain/neurological issues); Excessive licking/scratching (allergies)
- **Fear/Anxiety Etiology**: Noise phobia (thunderstorms/fireworks); Separation anxiety; Stranger anxiety/fear-based reactivity
- **Frustration Etiology**: Destructive behavior (under-stimulation); Excessive barking (boredom); Hyperactivity/inability to settle

## AI Communication Decoding
- **AI-Trainable Signals**: Tail position/movement; Ear orientation; Body posture tension; Vocalization pitch changes; Facial muscle tension
- **Context-Dependent Vocalizations**: Short bark at door = alert vs short bark during play = excitement; Low growl with toy = play vs low growl with stiff body = warning; Whining at door = potty vs whining near owner = attention/anxiety
- **Interspecies Communication**: Develops unique vocalizations (grumbles/chatter) for owner; Uses intense eye contact/gazing to direct attention; Highly sensitive to human emotional states and tone of voice
