Ok..... 7 month old female pup dies and this is all the info I have.............. "We may never know for sure, but it looks like probably something with her heart. This female just keeled over dead a few days ago. The owners did some research and apparently there's a genetically based thing in German shepherds that I'd never heard of, kind of a sudden death syndrome, that has something to do with heart arythmia's."............. Does anyone know of this, or have had it happen to one of theirs? Reply privately if you'd like.
