IMO most of the Savs die because of bad husbandry...and yes, wrong temperature is one of the problems. We see a lot of football players that are big, but not necessarily sick. They can exert themselves, doing vigorous exercise, better than you and I could. Police dogs that are retired, are fed more than when they were in service and gain back a lot of weight. Being chubby doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy, or sick, and eating a lot doesn't mean unhealthy either if the person and animal are healthy. A lot of the time these animals are kept in too small cages, too, and become obese. Obese and fat (or chubby) doesn't mean the same thing. Obese is very unhealthy, but being chubby or robust, a person and animals can live to a ripe old age. My grandma lived to be 85 and she was quite big for Asians. Most of the time genetics play a part in bringing on the diseases.
