Bottom line-I wish the GSDCA or a research grant at a university or both 
working together, would take every known pedigree of our dogs with EPI, 
seizures, DM etc and see if we can't start getting rid of issues. DNA of rescue 
dogs (no pedigree available) could be used too. GSD breeders have made a major 
impact on hip dysplasia. Why not the rest?
