ANOTHER STONE FORMER!

Another stone former this time on dalnet list!
How sad that our clubs refuse to acknowledge
just how prevalent this health problem is!

Bringing in problems!?

A close friend said to me at Crufts "Do you no you could be introducing HD into our breed! Pointer have terrible hip problems!"
Another case of myth!!!

THIS IS FROM THE BVA WEBSITE.

The Breed Mean Score (BMS) represents a global mean of the scores of all dogs of that breed that have been through the Hip Dysplasia Scheme up until 31st October
2010. The Breed Median Score has been calculated from data recorded on the Kennel Club’s electronic registration database, up until 31st October 2010. The 5-year mean is the mean of all hip scores recorded on the Kennel Club’s registration
database between 1st November 2005 and 31st October 2010.

Pointer Breed mean score 11. Median 9. 5 year Median 11.

Dalmatian Breed mean score 11. Median 10. 5 year Median 11.


Seems the pointer fairs a little better than the Dals!!!

So what is the problem???

ANOTHER STONE FORMER!

Oh dear! the month is not out yet, and there is ANOTHER stone former
reported on the British Dalmatian Club Forum!!!

This is so much more common than even I thought, and I did my research!
Its time we woke up and smelt the coffee! We can not allow this suffering of
of dogs within our breed, we MUST put it right!!! We must prove we care about
ALL members of our breed and reincorporate the normal gene that is lost from the
Dalmatian genetic make up. Its only right that we do. We caused the problem, while
selectively breeding, we as custodians MUST now put right the health problem we caused!

New boy on the block!

This lovely little boy is Stocklore Wizard of the Forrest (Merlin) at 5 1/2 months.
