Dysplastic Hips - Breeds without any perfect scores

Following on from Lynn's thread on Dillon, I was looking up hip scores and was surprised to see that some breeds have no 0 scores?

BMD have been scored with 0:0 score, but the following breeds have not had one perfect score and thus all those scored are all dysplastic.

ASD
Bouviers
Bracco
Eurasier
Maremma
Norwegian Buhund
Otterhound
Polish Lowland Sheepdog
Pyrennean Sheepdog
Sussex Spaniel
Swedigh Vallhund
Affenpinscher
ACD
Beagle
Canaan Dog
EMD
Japanese Akita Inu
Kerry Blue Terrier
Komondor
Miniature Poodle
Neapolitain Mastiff
PWD
RBT
Shar Pei
SBT
BGVPT
BMH
Beauceron
Bichon Frise
Border Terrier
Bulldog
Greenland Dog
Hungarian Kuvasz
Lowchen
Miniature Schnauzer

SHRP
Standard Schnauzer
Tibetan Spaniel

and

In Estrelas not many people do score. The lowest recorded score was 0:1 and that was from the same kennel my dogs are from. There have only been 65 dogs scored so far.

Was suprised to see SBT in there!

Yes numbering is an issue however there are several breeds with fewer numbers scored which have 0:0 hip scores.

Wish more Boxers were tested ...
My Oz has a bad hip and i would like to know if it was genetic or something like catching his leg as a youngster jumping a fence..

But even low scoring parents can produce dysplastic pups, as the method of inheritance is not fully understood.

There is always that thing in the back of my mind that was something we could have done or not done when he was younger

That is true, however that does not mean dogs should not be health tested does it?

If I had a choice of ANY breed under the sun, I would ALWAYS choose a dog from health tested breeding stock after determining the health issues in the breed and what, if any, relevant health tests existed for them.

I would not buy a house without a survey.
I would not buy a car without an MOT
I would not buy a fridge without a CE mark.

Why would I buy a dog that did not have the canine equivalent?

But who chooses what tests are needed for what breeds ..?
Breed health councils are mostly run by breeders right ??

I never said they shouldn't Merely that Murf's dog may have had a dodgy hip anyway.
