Hip and elbow scoring schemes have been hugely successful in reducing the pain and suffering of dogs with hereditary hip and elbow problems. For high risk breeds it's still important to hip and elbow score dogs before breeding and to make sure if you're thinking of getting a pup make sure the parents are scored.

Once plagued by crippling , Clumber Spaniels and other breeds are now walking easier thanks to decades of dedicated screening and responsible breeding.

Through 60 years of the BVA/The Kennel Club UK hip dysplasia scheme and the perseverance of veterinary experts and breeders, measurable improvements in canine hip health show that progress is truly possible within just a few generations.
