Hip Dysplacia
Everything you need to know
Hip Dysplacia
A congenital disease that causes the hip joints in affected dogs to grow abnormally. This causes the joint to become loose and wobbly and eventually leads to a form of arthritis which is commonly referred to as degenerative joint disease (DJD).
The Good Practice guidelines for breeders include a requirement that both dogs and bitches used for breeding are 'hip scored' under the KC/BVA scheme and matings only considered with the aim of reducing the average hip score of the breed. The current average is 26 and is available from the Kennel Club
