Default Otitis in 3 sisters

In my SAR group there are 3 sisters from the same litter. In the past month the three of them have had otitis, which is intriguing me.

The three of them live in different houses, with different owners and different lifestyles. the three of them eat the same food.

I know there is a relationship between allergies and otitis, but I don't knoe the details, so I'll ask more question to see if maybe that is the link between them. Other than that, there is any genetic factor that my link them to have a predisposition to it?

I think there is a relationship.

I knew a dog with severe chronic otitis. His dam had the same.
