How about Hemangiosarcoma? I know there were diseases
back in the 60's and 70's but how many GSD's were lost
as pups to 7 years of age back then? I remember HD
as being the top reason but even then they lived to
be in their teens. These were the German GSD's though but
then of course most GSD's I knew were. However in the
beginning most top American GSD's lines came from Germany.
Even Lloyd who my father knew used the German lines in
the beginning as he used them though linebreeding and
inbreeding off the line of Utz von Haus Schutting.
Then you can add some Long-Worth dogs carried the White
recessive gene to stay on topic.

and Pat were working tirelessly to protect the breed from these same
problems. My Mike daughter died of toxic gut in the early 70s as did her
daughter. You say you have owned and love (sic) this breed for over
50 years. Well, so have i, and I see nothing new in health problems
but much progress on the part of the GSDCA to solve them.

that some of the issues we see today,
especially Toxic Gut was something I never saw in my dogs until the 90's.
My first GSD who was a Troll granddaughter lived to over 15 and was never
sick a day in her life. Food for thought.<<<<
That is wonderful to have a GSD live that long and something that is very
important to point
out. I grew up with family and friends owning GSD's never use to hear of health
or temperament issues
as we have today. First GSD I bought could eat anything never a sick day in his
life, however I lost
him to Hemangiosarcoma 8 weeks before his 11th birthday 23 years ago. It is in
certain bloodlines
and we will continue to lose our dogs to this disease until breeders and owners
look at the overall picture
and admit there is a problem and solve
it.
