Pointing to human diseases is comparing apples and oranges.  Yes we do share 
some of the same diseases, but in breeding dogs hopefully WE CAN CHOOSE 
according to lines and what they produce. Humans choose their partners from 
different parameters, which has nothing to do with genetics.  I agree with 
Helen about the increase of issues we see now.   If we were to really analyze 
our increased problems in GSDs, it would most certainly be far worse in today's 
world than in the past. With the advance of science and technology, and vet 
medicine, we know and can treat many more diseases/conditions than say 50 years 
ago. In other words if our breed problems we have today would only have the vet 
care and technology of 50 years ago I'm guessing we'd be seeing a huge increase 
of problems plaguing our breed. As the saying goes "facts are stubborn things."

Pat
