  1. Mast cell tumors can develop in all ages and breeds of dogs.


  2. There appears to be a hereditary factor to these tumors as shown by some strong breed predilections.

  3. Most mast cell tumors develop in older dogs, usually those 8.5 - 9.5 years of age.

  4. They are rare in cats and humans.

  5. Golden Retrievers may also be at increased risk.

  6. They are most common in Boxers, Boston Terriers, Pugs, English Bulldogs, and other brachiocephalic breeds (those having a short, wide head).

  7. I know one that comes to mind. Boxers
