Future/Health Issues[edit]

"While the Plummer Terrier generally breeds true in appearance, the standard is a working terrier standard. The most common serious health fault in this breed is cleft palate, followed by foul mouth, patella luxation and cryptorchidism."

Exactly what is "foul mouth" ? Is it just halitosis, a misalignment of teeth, or a tendency to swear? I added links to cryptorchidsm and patella luxation, as I really didn't know what those were. Although I assume "foul mouth" is just bad breath, possibly caused by some genetic oral issue in these dogs. I really can't be certain; maybe "foul mouth" is a special term in dog breeding circles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by OwlParty (talkcontribs) 03:01, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
