catnap Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Do you have any good links or references where to find comparison of UK and US hipdysplasia results. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelliwic Border Collies Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 I asked the same question not too long ago to an email list, and here's the basics I received: UK/US hip scores compared Orthopaedic Foundation for Animals/British Veterinary Association Excellent 0-4 (no>3/hip) Good 5-10 (no>6/hip) Fair 11-18 Borderline 19-25 Mild Dysplacia 26-35 Moderate Dysplacia 36-50 Severe Dysplacia 51-106 This Australian site has a good explanation of the scoring system (Australian and UK systems are the same, I'm told): www.nationalbordercolliecouncil.com Click on Health Problems, then on the HD article link.

karrider Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hip scores are not graded by excellent good or fair and have not been done like that here in the UK for many years, the national mean score of the border collie is currently 14 Karin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
