Hip/Elbow Scores…

Breeder Talk

    Just curious about the different scoring systems around the world…

    Do you breeders, from all the different countries that we have on here, (:D), actually get individual scores for your dogs, especially the hips ??? Or is it just the grading ??? We get 3 here in Aus, the individual hip/elbow score, the Australian Grade, then the International Grade... What do you put most emphasis on ???

    In the USA, we get for hips Excellent, Good, Fair and then degrees of being dysplastic. If you go to www.offa.org you can see all the different scores that a dog can get. For Elbows, it is Normal, Indeterminate and then the Grade of degenerative joint desease

    Best you can hope for now is to get onto a list for this winter but all the breeders have had full lists now for some time. You may find you have to wait for next winter. Demand this year is through the roof - we are weeding things out as much as possible. Email me privately - addresses are on the websites listed in my signature block.

    @Quercus: <> Right...I wasn't sure if that was the litter that Sue was referring to? But I don't know of her doing any other brother/sister breeding. So yes, Ariel is a product of that breeding. The idea was to do a test breeding to see what genetically, if anything, might be brought out. By doing an inbreeding, you can 'expose' recessive genes, and see what you've actually got. You can also set (as in permanantly set) type...but, that wasn't the goal in Sue/Jeff's breeding. In this case, the two "best" "typey" puppies from this litter will most likely be bred on from, as long as they test out as genetically and physically healthy, they will most likely be out-crossed, to bring in different genes. Ariel's brother, George, is quite stunning, and is easily the best looking puppy in the litter. Ariel has a beautiful head, but is long in body, short in leg. Neither one is what we consider a "show dog" ;) And the litter's sire is quite handsome!.... the dam of the litter, while long in the back and short on leg (like it sounds Ariel is) has a great temperament... both are great to build on the future.... and breeding out from these pups will be great to build on too.... I am pretty sure that would be the breeding Sue was talking about, like you I don't know of any other brother/sister breeding she and Jeff has done.
