@blue11fudge: The most common NASTY diseases that dogs can get are the ones we routinely vaccinate against (so our dogs are protected from them and the incidence of them is lower).
In terms of annoying but not deathly, kennel cough (infectious respiratory disease that causes coughing like a barking seal) is caused by Bordatella or viruses. Leptospirosis and Giardiasis pop up a bit too.
Vaccinating and parasite control (worming, heart worming and flea control) will help reduce the chance of your dog getting these problems.
