How Is Canine Hip Dysplasia Transmitted
CHD is a inheritable disease. It is passed on by the parents to the offspring. The only effective measure therefore to eradicate the disease is to prevent dogs with hip dysplasia from breeding. However, this is easier said than done, because not all dogs with hip dysplasia show signs of the disease. Seemingly normal dogs still carry the gene for CHD and are bred, causing the disease to stay within the genepool.

Doghouses
When placed outside, dogs should have their own place for shelter. This is to keep them away from direct sunlight or from the rain or snow. If your dog is left alone for long periods of time, make certain that his “home” is the right size and will protect him from the elements. . . .
