I was for a few months ago in Germany and i spoke to a man who had a Malinois from Belgium this dog he brought back because this dog he said had the syndrome off Cauda e Quinna. This is a ilness that is from the German Shepherds. This means that the last 3 vertebra are growing to gather. This means the dog can walk today and the next he can't. This ilnes isn't to be seen as a puppy it opens at an age from 2 to 4 years old by German shepherds. The other ilnes is cancer there are some bloodlines that give this trough. Allso you here that there is epilepsy at the malinois pressand some bloodlines give this allso trough (allso in the "working lines"). I only heard that this was in the longhaird bloodlines. And what you hear even offten is HD. Breeders that breed with dogs that have HD-C. Or bloodlines with bad backs and weak knees.
