This is the female I had bred to him:

Either way it is good to track since she also comes from some popular dogs. Renal dysplasia is similar to hip dysplasia in that the dogs will have varying forms of malformed kidney development. It is, however, a dominant gene. So it only takes one parent to pass it on. It stays in the lines of many breeds because the problems may not be apparent until a dog is old enough to have been bred many times. Some dogs may last less than a year and other may live a long life and may not be clinically affected by it. Every dog has their own weak links, of which there may not be a genetic test for. But, I feel if there is something that can be eliminated from the breed or at least controlled...why not? No one wants to get attached to a dog to find out it's life span will be cut in half or less.
It is much more popular in the breed than many people know (or want to admit). Here is an example of a breeder doing the right thing about this: http://www.nikonisgsd.co.uk/statement.html
