Analysis of hip dysplasia in the Italian dog population
This study aimed to investigate frequency of hip scores (FCI method) and risk factors for hip dysplasia (HD) in 6 dog breeds in Italy. Screening data for hip dysplasia of 27278 x-rayed dogs of 6 breeds (German Shepard, Boxer, Labrador, Golden Retriever, Terranova, and Rottweiler) were analysed. Freq...

For most breeds, females were more at risk of hip dysplasia than males. Age of animals at x-ray assay was not a significant risk factor for most breeds. Recent years of birth showed a decreasing risk of HD, and dogs born in spring and winter were more at risk than dogs born in summer or fall.
