In general, an elevated white blood cell count means, that your dog has an infection. Most likely an bacterial infection. Antibiotics should help, if bacteria are correctly identified.

Elevated white blood cells mean an infection. a higher white blood cell count in any orgnism means there is an infection that the body is trying to fight off. White blood cells "eat" the bacteria/virus present.

An elevated white blood cell count in any breed of dog, or animal for that matter means that there is an infection present somewhere in the body, it may be under control or it may need medical attention. It is best to ask your vet to narrow down the infection.
