John,
        It's interesting that you mentioned a Jewish grandfather in relation to
bowel problems because as a serious dog breeder, we have noticed a pattern
that   genetic traits often skip a generation.  I have a pup now who is so
much like his grandmother - NOT his mother - that it's frightening!!
