I think you have to be very careful what you say. This is why it is so important that if you want to get into breeding, get into showing and learn who can be trusted. There are many show breeders out there that are reputable and very forthright with their lines. good luck though, as they will not deal with just anyone either.
As for your remark about a famous dog that produced many progeny with shunt problems, I am not sure who you mean.
I do know however, for there to be shunt issues BOTH DAM AND SIRE have to be carriers. So that means the breeder that might have it in their litter box would also have to have a bitch carrier that produced it. The bitch carrier came from????????
Genetics is trickier than most people on this forum will ever even begin to understand.
So I am not going to begin to try to educate from that end as I gave that one up a long time ago here.
