There is a cardiac arrhythmia specific in GSDS. Dr. Sydney Moise at Cornell
University, NY has had a breeding colony of GSDS for years studying this.
Parents have to be tested (24 hour holter monitor) as do siblings to determine
if
they are indeed carriers.
She has years of pedigrees showing many of the dogs affected. The last I
knew, they were looking for a genetic marker to identify the carriers.
The research for SIDS have been very involved as this is similar to what
causes sudden death in children.
This is listed in our blue book on genetics. Scootie Sherlock could also give
you information.
Hope this helps,
