Evan, you are right the breeders of the GSD breed has improved on Hips and
Elbows.
However, they have a long ways to go on Health issues. The top issue today are
the cancers, bloat, DM, EPI, Epilepsy, IBS and Temperament issues. These have
all been links to genetic inheritance.

Owners yes. Breeders no.
We would never breed a dog with bad
hips. Because of that, I
can't remember one puppy we have sold in the past 20
years that had a hip
problem. I am sure there are some, but I can't
think of one.
Of course, as many have told me, my
memory is not what it
should be. I also can't remember who told me that
either.
We, the shepherd breeders, have done a
marvelous job in
developing better hips and elbows in the breed. No one I
know breeds to get pups
with health problems. Can we always avoid it, no. But, the
intent is always to
better the breed, and because of that, we have made great
steps to improve the
world of German shepherds.
We can't be responsible for
neighborhood breeders, (see, I
didn't say back yard breeders since we often use our
back yard for the litters),
but we sure can continue to educate, and hope for a perfect
world in the
future.
Evan
