British Veterinary Association / Kennel Club Hip Dysplasia Scheme Breed Specific Statistics – 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2016 Hip scores should be considered along with other criteria as part of a responsible breeding programme, and it is recommended that breeders choose breeding stock with hip scores around and ideally below the breed median score, depending on the level of HD in the breed. HD status of parents, siblings and progeny for Kennel Club registered dogs should also be considered, and these together with a three generation Health Test Pedigree may be downloaded via the Health Test Results Finder, available on the Kennel Club’s online health tool Mate Select (www.mateselect.org.uk). In addition, estimated breeding values (EBVs) are available for breeds in which a significant number of dogs have been graded, via the same link. For further advice on the interpretation and use of hip scores see www.bva.co.uk/chs The breed median score is the score of the ‘average’ dog in that breed (i.e. an equal number of dogs in that breed have better and worse scores).

    Canine Hip Dysplasia - by Patricia Long October, 2001 Edited by Melissa Zebley, DVM Contributions by: Sue Bacig, Brenda Briggs, Sue Brightman, Cathy Burlile, Janice Cagwin, Steve Dudley, Lisa Ebnet, Sue German, Kathy Maher, Ruth Reynolds, Rose Tierney, Sue Sanvido, Doug Smith Much has been written on hip dysplasia (HD), and this article is simply an attempt to summarize much of that information. For a more in-depth examination of HD, I urge you to read the articles by Susan Thorpe-Vargas and John Cargill which can be found on http://workingdogs.com/ Prevention - the ounce worth more than a pound Breeders have several methods of trying to minimize the risk of HD: OFA, GDC, PennHIP. But these registries are only able to identify some dogs that may have HD. They are not able to identify the dogs that carry the genes for HD. It is important to understand that no matter how many generations there are in the pedigree with hips rated clear, all this can do is to minimize the risk of HD - it can't eliminate it. HD is a polygenetic multifactorial condition, which means that we still don't know exactly what causes it. But without the genes for it, a dog won't get it without some other event such as an injury. What is HD? The hip joint is a clever device, the classic ball and socket joint. Properly constructed, the top of the thigh bone, or femoral head, is the ball that fits into the socket, or acetabulum, in the pelvis. But in dogs, as in humans, this joint does not always develop properly.

    Questions - a Learning Experience? (As Printed in AKC Gazette, May 95 Miniature Pinscher Breed Column, Courtesy Of: Sherry Bernard)

    Questions - A Learning Experience? (as printed in AKC Gazette, May 95 Miniature Pinscher Breed Column, courtesy of: Sherry Bernard) Anyone who owns a Miniature Pinscher will testify to the fact that you can't walk your dog around the block without having people stop you to ask questions. If you and your dog venture out to a mall or flea market it is not uncommon to literally attract a crowd. Far and away the most frequently asked question appears to be "Is this a bred down Doberman?" Proud Min Pin owners are happy to respond with a resounding "No". Unfortunately, that is often the only response given. This is not because Min Pin owners are rude or unfriendly, but usually because they don't know the history of their breed. It is not necessary to recite an entire chapter of a book to provide people with some basic information on where the Min Pin came from. It would be sufficient to let people know that the Miniature Pinscher is of German origin and is believed to be a cross between the Italian Greyhound and the Dachshund. You might add that the recognition of the Miniature Pinscher occurred a number of years earlier than the recognition of the Doberman Pinscher. Of greater interest is the fact that in Germany the Miniature Pinscher was known as the "Reh Pinscher" due to its resemblance to a small red deer, the Reh, which was found in German forests many years ago. One of the most fascinating personal observations I've made is that innumerable small children will ask me if the little red dog I'm walking is a deer! This is a fairly common occurrence with children, yet I've never had an adult ask that question.
