I don't think that Theresa is try to be negative, just make more breeders and owners aware of the problems we do face in the breed. There are many sites that specialize in the GSD and health problems within the breed. These groups help with information to determine causes, treatments and cures for the many dogs of the breed. They also help owners realize that in many cases with proper diet and care their beloved pet can lead a normal life. There is a lot of false info on the internet, these groups help separate fact and fiction. IE (cutting off the tail of the GSD when treating PF) Old treatment and useless, but still found on the internet. Morgan Lewis, RPh.

AND...we all know that you can find that anytime... anywhere if you are looking. Possibly you should consider quoting them less and question them more."

Cancer is not included but have numberous sites dealing with it too. Yes, the vets at the colleges will e-mail you back with their findings. You also note some of these sites are from other countries too.
