Theresa, I don't think anyone on this list needs to read a book on Canine 
genetics to come to the realization that GSD's have health issues.  We live 
with our dogs.  We can't "miss" the problems.  BTW, I've never met a person in 
the Breed who has claimed that GSD's are free of genetic health problems.


To answer your question...  Yes, I have read Willis' books.  Did I believe 
everything I read?  No.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Health and Genetics Question


How many own or read the books written by Malcolm Willis on Health
and Genetics on the GSD or his Dog Genetics? Willis has detailed information
on the GSD&#39;s of the past with health and temperament issues, as well
as other issues dealing with the GSD.  Then there is the book
Control of the Canine Genetic Diseases by George A. Padgett, DVM who
was professor of pathology at MSU in MI. These are just a couple Dog
Genetic books worth reading that proves the GSD in the past and today
has problems. It is not the only breed that does though as there is
much information covered in the above books on them too.
