Thanks for the email containing the pedigree for Louie. I just compared the two and there are no connections. However, I still suspect CIL may be due to overbreeding and/or food like kibble with too much wheat, etc.
Thanks again!

I'd be really interested in seeing her pedigree to know if she and Louie are related. Here is his: http://www.chinesecrested.no/pedigree.ph...ther=44935

Sorry you are here, but you are in the right place!
Show dogs and interbreeding is pretty much a given it seems these days. We are trying to find a new dog to add to our family and the more research I do in the recognized breeds we are considering, the more concerned I become. Autoimmunity is something we deal with in our human family as well and of interest to me. Seeing so many dog breeds with increased evidence of autoimmune issues, I'm beginning to wonder if what we're dealing with is part of the linebreeding/inbreeding issue and why we see so many different breeds suffering from this. I hope it is a portal to a greater understanding of genetic health overall!!!
