Related to this thread Here the question regarding elbow & hip dysplasia being either primary or secondary and the choice of breeding DJD Rated dogs, I would like to know more..... not from phenotype verses genotype or medicine either for that matter, I would like know why "reputable" breeders choose to breed DJD Rated dogs radiologically or why they don't ? What are the Pro's and Con's ?
What are your predominants in primary verses secondary ?
Actually I have a final Composition due in 2 weeks. In light of Dani's thread title and known breeders I know from browsing forums, I would like a personal views of why or why not on this issue for my final grade ?
No fight is intended here, I would like to fraction the ideas of medicine, phenotypes, genotypes and reputable knowledge of the public concerning this disease and breeding dogs. Thanks in advance.

Sooo, what would the results tell you ? Do you care about the results? Or do you care about your Reputable Breeding ? Do you care about the "betterment for the breed" or do you care about personal gain ?
If a Bitch is Rated DJD1 would you breed to a dog with DJD1 ? Would you look for a Sire with DJD1 Rated diarthrodial on opposits to your Bitch ? Or would bite your lip and Spay your Bitch ?
If you do Breed a dame and sire DJD1 Rated dogs what is the rarefaction of the Progeny ?
