    The GSD for 1, the Sarloos and Czech Wolf dogs are tested in Netherlands I believe also US so less risks of producing a pup with PD

    A friend of mine had one, bless he lost most of his hair his skin was raw, forever at the vets, but was happy wee soul, he died at 6.

    There are a few Gsd UK breeders testing for dwarfism which is good to see.
