Claims

• Laxity of the hip joint, resulting from a shallow acetabulum and/or a small, mis-shapen head of the femur. In severe cases, affected animals are lame.
• Mode of inheritance: Multifactorial
• Species-specific name: Canine hip dysplasia
• REDUCING NUTRITIONASSOCIATED GROWTH COMPLICATIONS Nutrient imbalances and excesses during growth may lead to developmental orthopedic diseases and subsequent development of osteoarthritis in largeand giant-breed dogs (FIGURE 1).
• ENERGY REQUIREMENTS Meal-restricted feeding has been shown to reduce the frequency of developmental orthopedic disease and early osteoarthritis in large- and giant-breed dogs compared to ad lib feeding2 by preventing the maximal rate of growth and therefore reducing mechanical stress to developing joint cartilage.
• Evaluation of risk factors for degenerative joint disease associated with hip dysplasia in German Shepherd Dogs, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and Rottweilers
• Estimates of prevalence of hip dysplasia in Golden Retrievers and Rottweilers and the influence of bias on published prevalence figures.
• Genetic correlations of hip dysplasia scores for Golden retrievers and Labrador retrievers in France, Sweden and the UK.
• Breeding Values and Genetic Trend for Hip Dysplasia in the Norwegian Golden Retriever Population
• Analysis of the hip status of Golden Retrievers in Brazil-A study of health and genetic improvement.
• Neutering dogs: effects on joint disorders and cancers in golden retrievers.
