It sounds like testing at 6 mo. is still too early. Many animals are bred
somewhere after their 2nd heat if it's a bitch and perhaps earlier if a male.
That's early for me.... I like the number on the fore and aft but, my question
I
guess, should be.... Will the pancreas show signs at this time of damage? If
not, what age bracket are Breeders looking at to be able to have this genetic
question answered?

Some dogs are protected, to an extent, with Supplements of Enzymes like
Viokase...which do service for the degenerating Pancreas and keep the deadliest
of
SIBO/IFBD, effects from expressing themselves as Toxic Gut/Mesenteric
torsion... BUT...if these enzymes were not available, the Disease and the
ultimate
consequences of it ( SIBO) leading to Toxic Gut/Mesenteric Torsion...would
express themselves earlier and more dramatically and tragically for our Breed..
Early Testing is merely a Band-Aid on the wound until we have DNA
Markers...BUT...IT IS SOMETHING!!!!! Perhaps we can catch a few in the process
and
alert breeders to the fact that they have the genetic propensity of it in their
breeding Stock and take the necessary precautions to breed out and away from
it!!! Someone asked and I'll answer that question what is PAA? It is
PANCREATIC ACINAR ATROPHY...A wasting away of the Pancreas..which results in
Exocrine
Pancreatic Insuffiencency , a loss of Digestive Enzymes, so the Shepherd with
such a condition cannot readily digest it's food and benefit with the
nutrients from their food. Barb Williams
