| Re: Elbow dysplasia and breeding
Well, my boy is OFA'd elbows (CHIC all the way) and I refilmed them a few months ago (age 6) as we are continuing with some work involving quite a bit of jumping and it was for my satisfication only. They were clean and beautiful. So, I don't think it would sway me. At one time I thought it would, but after studying the results of disregarding the importance, I don't think I would anymore.
A generation or more ago, I could understand it, but at where we are now, I want to see them done and at the right age.
One other problem I see with the imports as well is that they xray at a much earlier age than we do here in the US and then never look at them again. |
