Mesenteric Torsion is GENETIC

They have know that for years in Humans, horses, cows and very other breed of 
dog - it isn't 
until recently that they are now including the GSD

However, Bloat is familial.  They have not found the way it is passed on, nor 
how HD is passed 
on - that might be because it is a three gene triat or there is a gene that 
turns it on - not basic 
genetics on those two problems

However, I find it more interesting to look at the horizontal pedigree than the 
vetical one

Let's say LITTER A is a litter of 8 GSDs -4 male and 4 female  6 of the litter 
( 3 males and 3 
females) have crippling HD by age 2 and one male is not tested, and one female 
just barely 
passes her ofa.  This one female is then bred.

The discussion is

WOULD YOU HAVE BRED THIS BITCH and WHY or WHY NOT

LET'S TALK BITTER B. LITTER B is a litter of 8 GSDs -4 male and 4 female  6 of 
the litter ( 3 
males and 3 females) BLOAT BY AGE 2.  One Male dies, cause unknown. 

WOULD YOU HAVE BRED THIS BITCH and WHY or WHY NOT
