Yes, it IS in the German Shepherd breed also. I have been testing for the 
past 6-7years. Most of mine have been normal/normal, with a handful of 
mutant/normal (two alleles per gene)....if a dog is mutant/mutant, they can 
and usually do react in a potential lethal way. I have seen some dogs react 
to this - some have indeed died...

Pixel has been tested normal/normal.
