[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 679405, member: 1963"] Well,he had what was called a "Shiloh Shepherd"and they are not recognized as a pure bred GSD. ALL GSDs are prone to intestinal and pancreatic issues. It is something that should've been bred out of the breed a hundred years ago. As a result of this, they suffer from overgrowth of "bad" bacteria in the small intestine, which at best leads to some horrible gas, and at worst can lead to life-threatening malabsorbtion and diarrhea IME, putting the dogs on a properly balanced raw diet and probiotics seems to take care of the intestinal issues in most cases. I suspect this is a modern issue that wasn't a problem before the invention of modern dog foods. [/QUOTE]
