Why don't we start in the health issues area, by listing all the health 
issues we see in the dogs.  Lets separate the known genetic or strongly 
suspected genetic problems from just everyday problems.  I will start the 
list:

GENETIC PROBLEMS

Hip Dysplasia
Lux Patellas
Epilepsy
Congenital and Juvenile Cataracts
Dwarfism


That's five.  Someone else add to the list and lets try to get a complete 
list.  If there are gray (grey) areas, lets include them.  Rage syndrome is 
one that comes to mind.
