    This study was carried out to compare the levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL – C, LDL – C, TC: HDL – C ratio and to determine of ischemic heart disease risk in healthy German shepherd, Labrodor retriever and Pointer. Material of this study included a total of 65 healthy dogs from both sexes and 2 to 4 years old, 15 of which were Pointers, 21 of which were German shepherd and 29 of which were Labrodor retrievers. Blood samples were taken from each dog fasted for at least 12 hours, to evaluate total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL - C, LDL – C. Plasma total cholesterol level was significantly (p< 0.001) lower in Pointer than in German shepherd and Labrodor retriever. The serum HDL - C level was significantly (p< 0.001) higher in German shepherd and Labrodor retriever than in Pointer. However, LDL - C level was lower in Pointers compared with German shepherd and Labrodor retriever. Also, it was observed that total cholesterol: HDL – C ratio was higher (p< 0.001) in Labrodor retriever when compared with other two breeds. As a result, in this study, ıt was concluded that the prevalence of lipoprotein metabolism disorders and coronary artery disease might be lower in pointer than in German shepherd and Labrodor retriever
