Ok, this is a very interesting article.
I think it is important that you know what you are getting into when selecting dog breed or mix. My Doberman, Dillon, died of cardiomyopathy at 5 years of age. I now know that Dobies are all susceptible to cardiomyopathy. I don't want to go through that again, so no more Dobermans for me.
Here is the list (Read the article to also find out those least likely)
Dogue de Bordeaux (9.5x more likely)
Flat Coated Retreivers (8.3x)
German Shepherds (6.3x)
Hungarian Vizslas (5.5x)
Boxer (3.6x)
Rottweiler (3.1x)
Beagle (2.4x)
Lurcher (2.2x)
Golden Retriever (1.9x)
Labrador Retriever (1.4x)
