Well the causes I listed are actual PROVEN causes, it is a known fact that Injury, Iodine deficiency, Pituitary dysfunction, excessive thyroid supplementation, genetics, cancer, Radiation, Virus/bacterial infection and autoimmune diseases cause hypothyroidism. That's not a guess that's a fact. Those are all causes.
Where it becomes a guessing game is which cause is the reason a particular dog has thyroid disease.
If you have a genetic marker for it then that would take that part of the guess work out.
I don’t disagree with what you said here but I think it is speculation that a dog pulling on a lead strap or e collars are causing injury to the thyroid gland. If you have proof of that I would like to see it.
