My GSD has no hip problems. As far as I know, all large dog breeds have some potential for hip dysplasia. GSD's have been bred for a particular stance, a downward slope to their back, that may be responsible for hip problems being more common in that breed.
Any more complete irrelevencies you want to discuss?
Nobody is saying that inbreeding can't cause problems. However, it's certainly NOT responsible for regurging in BCC's, since wild-caughts do it just as much, if not more, than captive-breds.
