I pondered whether to post this here or in the dog breed area, but to me it's a breeding issue so I went with here.
On the OFA site, there's an area where you can search statistics by breed. Go to http://www.offa.org/stats.html and scroll down to click on your breed and then share the results with us on elbow and hip dysplasia (and any others you want to share).
Here are my breeds:
Chows rank #1 in elbow dysplasia (47.4% abnormal results), GSD's rank 8th (19.5% abnormal results). That's a shocking amount of ED in chows .. truly sad especially given that not many breeders are doing (or admitting that they do) elbow x-rays.
Chows rank 34th in hip dsyplasia (19.6% dysplastic), GSD's rank 54th (19% dysplastic).
The other results are only entered into OFA if the owner submits them, so I don't feel there's a really great representation there on my breeds.
Where do your dogs rank?
