It seems like there are enough members here at YorkieTalk to conduct an informal survey to see the incidence of LS among their dogs. Only problem is that most breeders (who would be the ones you would most want to hear from) might be reluctant to be forthcoming. Among owners though, it would be interesting to see the rate of occurence and whether it is higher among line-bred or open-pedigree dogs and also the rate among dogs of various sizes. Would posting such a thread be improper? I realize this wouldn't be a controlled, scientific survey but anecdotal evidence may be as good as we'll get on this subject.
