I would imagine it would be up to you to whether Loki has his done, obviously you can't use him as a stud (which is a crying shame because otherwise he is a beautiful handsome boy), but it may indicate any skeletal problems that are lurking. Yeah I know, you don't need anymore bad news!

Teagan is spayed, but I still had her hip scored, as I think it's the only way to get an accurate idea of HD in the breed.
Teagan has severe HD, but this needs to be known, and it needs to be known which dogs are being bred with HD etc.

Any dog can be hip scored with the BVA, even if it's not a regognised breed, or even if it's a mongel, it just won't be recorded like registered breeds, and obviously not used for the same purpose if it's a mongrel for example.
