pepperj, I see you like German Shepherds. The white one was mine and the traditional one was my son's. They both past the same year and from the same mysterious disease. It was sad. At the time, very little was known about the disease and the only way they could confirm what is was was by doing tests and ruling out every other known disease. A doctor in Florida was about the only one making news as a pioneer in this field. He educated us and when we took our buddies in for the tests the doctors here actually told us that we knew more about this disease than they did. One of these was the Animal lab of a well known university dealing in animals. What our buddies had resembled hip dysplasia but all the vets ruled that out during the testing. The condition they arrived at was: Degenerative Myelopathy. A disease of their spinal cord. Here is a link, I honestly hope you never have need for this information.
