German Shepherd syndrome

Question
I read somewhere that there is a condition called: German Shepherd Syndrome. Can you tell me what this is? Apparently it is genetic and not related to hip dysplasia. Thanks.

Answer
Hi, I have been in GSD's for over 25 years and have never heard of German Shepherd Syndrome.  There are a lot of genetic disorders that affect GSD's as well as many other breeds, so not sure what they may be talking about.  Wish I could be of more help, but there is not one condition that just affects GSD's.
