Elbow Dysplasia

Physical Test

These breeders have had x-rays taken on their breeding dogs to assess the quality of their elbow joints. Dogs with very low ‘elbow scores’ are less likely to develop elbow problems in the future and less likely to pass hereditary elbow problems on to their puppies.

Tracheal Hypoplasia

Physical Test

British Bulldogs are known to be high risk for tracheal hypoplasia, where the trachea (windpipe) is very narrow. Some breeders have xrays taken of their breeding dogs to ensure the diameter of their trachea at the level of the thoracic inlet (where the windpipe enters the lungs) is not extremely narrow. Research is still being conducted to determine the significance of these results for puppies.
