Canine hip dysplasia: breed effects

S W Martin, K Kirby, P W Pennock

    The Canadian Veterinary Journal = La Revue Veterinaire Canadienne
    |November 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hip dysplasia prevalence in dogs varies significantly by breed, ranging from 5% in Siberian Huskies to 83% in English Bulldogs. Breed, not physical size, is a key factor in hip dysplasia rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Canine Health
    • Orthopedic Conditions

    Background:

    • Canine hip dysplasia is a common orthopedic condition affecting dogs.
    • Previous studies have varied in their findings due to differences in data inclusion criteria.
    • Radiographic confirmation is crucial for accurate hip dysplasia assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To refine previous hip dysplasia research by using a database of only suitably radiographed dogs.
    • To investigate the breed-specific prevalence of canine hip dysplasia.
    • To determine if physical size is a significant factor in hip dysplasia development.

    Main Methods:

    • Inclusion of only dogs with suitable radiographs in the study database.
    • Analysis of hip dysplasia rates across various dog breeds.
    • Statistical comparison of prevalence within specific breeds like Golden Retrievers and Old English Sheepdogs.

    Main Results:

    • Hip dysplasia prevalence varied widely among breeds, from 5% in Siberian Huskies to 83% in English Bulldogs.
    • Significant differences in hip dysplasia prevalence were observed within Golden Retrievers and Old English Sheepdogs.
    • Canine hip dysplasia rates were not significantly correlated with physical size alone.

    Conclusions:

    • Breed is a major determinant of hip dysplasia prevalence in dogs.
    • Rigorous radiographic screening is essential for accurate epidemiological studies of hip dysplasia.
    • Further research into genetic and environmental factors influencing hip dysplasia is warranted.
