Whether there are different theories or not, there is no disputing the fact that the dog DID die from Liver Shunt. I have a dog that had a liver shunt, and I know it is nothing to fool around with. It WILL KILL the dog if not taken care of. I contacted the breeder about my dog, and then we contacted the breeder that she got her dog from. The one that sold the mother of my dog just outright absolutly refused to accept that her dog could have produced anything like Liver Shunt, even though we traced the line back and found several that were known to throw shunt dogs in the line. I quit showing mine, and had her spayed when the shunt surgery was done, her mother was already dead from complications before and her father was spayed so it ended this event from continuing on to another. Oh and the other pup from the litter was also neutered.
What a lot of old time breeders did was hide their heads in the sand about this, which is why there is so much of it now.
