Hi Norma, I honestly can't answer your question but I can tell you that mine is 
a pituitary 
dwarf.  I would think genetic and heridetary are the same thing but I could be 
wrong.  she 
weighs about 9 lbs.  I really don't think she has all her marbles, and not 
because of the house
training, but that is another story.  She is just plain nuts, don't get me 
wrong, I love her 
dearly.  But if she was full size she would probably not live in my house.  She 
comes from 
high drive working line German dogs. If I hadn't gotten sick for a few years I 
might have just
done some schutzhund type training with her. But as it is she is a crazy "pet" 
that people think
I am nuts when I say she is pure GSD.

Lee,  I'm always wanting to learn, even tho I'm an old 57 backwards kid.
You say here that there are 2  "main"  types of dwarfism   You name one
as -- pituitary ----   being "hereditary" and go on to say that another 
type,
"non-proportional" is        "genetic"!!!   I had no idea they were 
different;
I always felt something that was inherited was  -- inherited from genes!!
What other way is there??  I'm lost.   Also you had mentioned your dog
was "retarded" because it took quite a while for him to be housebroken,
I'd say just as in the other growth factors you mentioned, slow maturing.
Not that the dog was mentally ill, just slow in developing, since you say
he did learn (here's a pun, -- perhaps the slowness could be due to the
"Trainer" --- just kidding here, couldn't resist it)   Norma no L

types of dwarfism -- pituitary, when is heriditary and non-proportaional
dwarfism, which is genetic.
