[PyrNet-L] hip dysplasia
I have a 15 month old pyr that I had x-rayed at
7-8 months of age, his prelim report came back borderline with a request to
resubmit at a later date. The reason for the borderline was mild to
moderate subluxation of his left hip. The right hip was fine.
I am an australian shepherd breeder and this is my first pyr,
so I was wondering how common of a problem subluxation is in pyrs? And
should I be concerned about his future hip status? Or will maturity take
care of some of the problem?
He is currently being shown in conformation on a limited basis
( I have two children ages 1 and 4, and I am currently a stay-at-home Mom) and
lives in the pasture with our goat herd when at home. He has nice
structure, balanced movement, clean both coming and going, and a wonderful
confident personality. Basically, he loves life.
Currently, due to the questionable prelim, I have no intention
of breeding him, but I still enjoy showing him and would welcome any comments or
suggestions anyone may have. Oh, by the way, his elbows were great, his
eyes checked out normal, and his all-around health is great.
Thanks
